Wavelength

High-Capacity Wavelength Services

Wavelength Service provides a large dedicated bandwidth connection for access to IP transit or point-to-point data, which carriers deliver over lit fiber-optic lines. Wavelength circuits deliver high-performance, low-latency, secure, dedicated connectivity between two sites. These point-to-point layer 1 network connections utilize DWDM technology to support multiple connections over a carrier’s fiber network. Network transparency and control are major benefits of layer 1 networks, which allow full customer management of layer 2 networking over it. For businesses requiring even more control, dark fiber networks enable the deployment of further custom networking and additional capacity.

Furthermore, wavelength solutions are typically deployed to upgrade or replace traditional data networking connections. As a result, they achieve significantly higher speeds at a lower cost compared to legacy network infrastructure. Speeds available range from 10Gbps to 400Gbps, with various optical handoff types available. Carrier routing of wavelength circuits can be done with custom network designs, as well as configurations for protection and redundancy.

As with all dedicated data network connections, a wavelength circuit comes with a Service Level Agreement (SLA), which guarantees network performance and QoS. Most importantly, reliability and low latency are key features of optical wavelength services, with priority support given to customers. However, wavelength pricing is based on distance, which makes circuits more expensive for connecting very remote sites and global networks. But for locations that are regional in nature, wavelength pricing is very cost-effective versus other data network technologies.

Optical wavelength connections are ideal for financial institution applications, data center interconnects, public and private cloud connectivity, voice/video applications, wireless tower and ISP backhauls. Availability of wavelength solutions is dependent on existing fiber to the sites or having fiber in the area to build out. Carrier infrastructure and available POP equipment also determine whether a site can support wavelength connections.  A Wavelength Service is also known as a Wave, Wavelength Circuit, Optical Wavelength Service, or Point to Point Fiber Connection.
