Dark Fiber

Advances in data packaging, and preventative overestimation during installation, resulted in unused extraneous space on some fiber optic networks. Dark fiber, or unlit fiber, is simply unused optical fiber already laid. While it is not transmitting any light pulses, we refer to it as "dark." We lease out this dark fiber to create many different types of networks. The most common ways to install and set up these networks are point-to-point and point-to-multipoint. Dark fiber networks are separate from the internet and completely under the client's control rather than the network provider.

The development of Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) improved the capabilities of dark fiber exponentially. DWDM allows many different data signals to be transmitted simultaneously through the same optical fiber. Data is transmitted on different wavelengths to keep it separate, allowing for significant increases in bandwidth and capacity. Additionally, we can split the single optical cable into multiple virtual fibers. These tremendous technological advances result in robust, secure, high-performance networks with breakneck internet speeds.

With the flexibility to choose your own equipment and design your own network, you'll have full control over your network. Plus, with extremely high bandwidth capabilities, your business will experience faster data transfer and improved performance. And with the ability to easily scale up or down as needed, you can ensure that your network always meets your specific needs. And with added security measures and low latency, your business will always be protected and productive.
