Control

Companies want control of their networks and the solution offerings that carry the data communications they enable. Having the core base fiber, dark fiber, is the way to get full control over a network. “Dark fiber is the raw fiber, in the ground, along a specific route that is just waiting to be lit.  It’s the Light, when the fiber is lit, that enables the carriage of data communications.  Routes can be diverse, but the most control is on the electronics and equipment that companies use to light the fiber.  With a variety of very capable and leading vendors to choose from – the control is all yours.”
