Dark Fibre

In today’s highly competitive market, communications companies need to save money on their network infrastructure.

However, ever-increasing demands such as expansion into new markets, network upgrades for growing bandwidth demands, plus unpredictable operation and maintenance costs, are all putting additional pressure on these costs.

With the VTLWaveNet Dark Fibre, we offer you an infrastructure on which you can build a high capacity European backbone or metro network in the main European business centres, ensuring it is designed to suit your specific requirements.

Our service:
We provide the fibre infrastructure; the operation and maintenance of the Dark Fibre and Co-location in the main European business centres and our repeater sites. We offer both long and short term leases of fibre and an Indefeasible Right of Use ("IRU").

Deploying a pan-European Dark Fibre network traditionally demanded a significant investment in time, people and budget to negotiate infrastructure deals, obtain planning consents and lay terrestrial and sub-sea cables.

VTLWaveNet Dark Fibre provides you with all the main European routes in one single contract or, if you already have a network, allows you to add new routes quickly. We offer G.654 (Sumitomi) in the sub-sea cables, G.655 from Lucent on the long haul terrestrial network and G.652 and G.655 fibre specifications in the metro.

Benefits:

VTLWaveNet Dark Fibre is especially useful for companies that already operate a fibre network and need additional routes or geographical diversity, as well as for companies that wish to build a high capacity European backbone to control their network costs going forward by owning the infrastructure, as opposed to leasing capacity. Building your own network infrastructure on top of VTLWaveNet Dark Fibre allows you full control over the services you offer and provides flexibility for product differentiation.

Whether you are building a pan-European network to extend your reach, or reducing the cost of third party leases, VTLWaveNet Dark Fibre gives you a cost-effective and hassle-free solution.
