DARK FIBER
Manage & Control Your Own Network
Introduction to Dark Fiber
In today’s fast-paced digital age, a reliable and robust network infrastructure is the backbone of businesses and communities. For those in the know, “dark fiber” has become a buzzword in the tech world. But what exactly is dark fiber, and how can it transform how we connect and communicate? Join us on a journey to explore the fascinating world of dark fiber and its pivotal role in shaping the future of data networks.
What is Dark Fiber?
Dark fiber refers to unused or “dark” optical fibers in a network infrastructure that have been laid but not yet activated for data transmission. These dormant fibers are like untapped potential waiting to be harnessed, offering countless opportunities for expanding and enhancing data network capabilities. With the rapid growth of data-intensive applications and the insatiable demand for high-speed internet, dark fiber has emerged as a strategic asset for internet service providers (ISPs) like 123NET.
Operational Control
Provides organizations with unparalleled control over their network, allowing them to connect their equipment to the fiber and manage the network end-to-end with virtually unlimited bandwidth.
Increased Performance
Provides the most direct and efficient path from end-to-end, unlike traditional commercial internet services that are built with many stops between point A and B. This results in faster and more reliable network performance.
Maximize Security
Organizations can ensure the security of their data and meet industry regulations with a completely private and protected network.
