Dark Fiber
Dark Fiber is a dedicated strand of fiber optic cable that connects your locations within the same metro area, and it allows you increase connectivity, network efficiency, and speed for your constituents. You have end-to-end control, unlimited bandwidth, and the flexibility to run unique protocols and use your own equipment. A Dark Fiber network offers maximum security, since you are not running through someone else’s network. Typical bandwidth plans often do not address the increasing demand for bandwidth or account for secure Internet capabilities to transmit large files and sensitive data. They also do not consider the need for scalable, end-to- end network control that requires instant response times for point-to-point communications. Workloads and operational demands continue to increase while budgets decline. This drives you to improve efficiencies and cut costs. However, leasing more line capacity on existing networks or purchasing more bandwidth presents economic challenges when faced with return on investment pressures.
