It’s the core underlying network that transports communications traffic from one point to another – but dark fiber alone isn’t the solution – it’s the way the fiber is lit that’s the difference.
Allied Fiber is building a new long haul dark fiber network that will eliminate obstacles for broadband access, wireless backhaul and lower latency through new, next generation construction. The network will have a short-haul dark fiber route as well as a long-haul dark fiber route – directly parallel to one another.
Since the speed of light can only move so fast, together with ADVA, Allied Fiber is capable of providing one of the fastest routes between New York and Chicago with a roundtrip latency sub 16ms.
Here is an illustration of the low-latency route on Allied Fiber’s dark fiber network, lit with ADVA’s Optical Networking gear:
Finally, Allied Fiber illustrates the solution that its network will bring to Middle Mile Network operators.
ADVA’s Optical Networking gear cuts packet transport time in half. For Financial companies it provides faster trades, since very millisecond counts. For High Performance Computing (HPC), interconnected clusters can increase throughput and for Enterprise businesses, faster transfers and backups equal more productivity.
Allied Fiber’s network, coupled with Carrier-Class Ethernet (CCE) can provide converged network solutions, enhanced network performance and can support enforceable stringent SLAs.
