Episode 69: Cogent’s Dave Schaeffer on acquiring T-Mobile’s wireline business, building a better internet backbone, and launching wave services

Ciena customer Cogent Communications operates one of the largest fiber-optic networks in the world, carrying around 1/4 of all internet traffic today. The ISP acquired the legacy Sprint long-haul fiber network from T-Mobile earlier this year.

Whitepaper

Advantages of Managed Spectrum Service vs Dark Fiber + DIY in the Enterprise Market

Large enterprises typically buy managed 100G wave service from Communications Service Providers (CSPs) for their business needs, paying monthly OPEX to the CSPs. When the network capacity required by the enterprise is low enough, buying managed 100G wave services is cost-effective for the enterprise.
