Network operators are caught between two challenging options: expensive dark fiber with its capital requirements and operational complexity, or limited lit services that don’t provide the control and performance needed for high-bandwidth applications. You need the control and performance of dark fiber without the massive investment in infrastructure, real estate, and operational resources.
Satisfy High Bandwidth Needs, Across a Nationwide Network With a Private Connection
Managed Spectrum is a dark fiber alternative that fills the gap between lit services and dark fiber and allows customers to interconnect two metro or nationwide locations.
Equivalent to a slice of dark fiber, you gain network control, achieve performance demand, and light your route faster – minus the capital cost and operational overhead of building, managing, or maintaining your own network.
Utilizing leased optical infrastructure and our engineering expertise, you're empowered with increased operational efficiency and backed by our award-winning, nationwide ICON network.
