Wavelength Services
Expand your niche in the evolving cloud ecosystem
Increase competitive differentiation and unlock new revenue
The challenge
Moving massive amounts of data across clouds in just hours requires on-demand, high-capacity connectivity, especially near the metro edge. This challenge presents an opportunity to leverage your optical network assets to deliver an innovative, high-capacity cloud exchange service.
Our approach
We offer a flexible, scalable, and secure switched optical infrastructure using intelligent automation to provide an on-demand, high-capacity wavelength service with enhanced service-level agreement options. This pay-as-you-go solution allows enterprises to quickly provision and schedule 100G/400G of capacity when and where they need it.
The benefits
Unlock new revenue opportunities with industry-leading coherent optics that scale up to 800G and a flexible ROADM-based optically switched infrastructure. Offer a premium customer experience with dedicated high-speed, low-latency, and highly secure multi-cloud access on demand.
