Dark Fibre - A Cautionary Note
Once upon a time dark fibre was only an option for service providers or data centres. This is no longer the case.
Dark fibre could be the right solution for your business but it is not like buying a managed service. You are investing in leasing an asset that has to be maintained and in the worst case scenario - such as builders cutting through cables - repaired. Under these circumstances the outages might not be easy or fast to fix. You'll need the right SLAs in place.
Put simply, your dark fibre is a high tech cable from one point to another. It is designed to connect offices to offices, data centres to data centres or offices to data centres.
- You will be responsible for all the complex optical and routing equipment required to 'light' the dark fibre.
- You will need to organise Internet connectivity if required.
- You will need to put failover and back-up plans in place - ensuring that these backups are discreet circuits not using the same cable routes.
- You will have taxes to pay.
Why Fibroptic?
Why be restricted by a single vendor offering?
You can take advantage of our relationships with metro, national and international fibre operators so you save time and money finding a solution that spans all these categories. Leave it to us. We'll work out how to piece together the optimum solution for your project.
With a managed service such as wavelengths, you will typically negotiate high speed connections complete with all the services you need. When planning to use dark fibre, it pays to have an experienced guide on hand to ensure you have all the bases covered.
Dark fibre providers will all offer:
- Different coverage footprints
- Different fibre routes (shortest is best)
- Different cost structures.
Sometimes multiple networks need to be combined to get to the best solution - whether that is a simple point-to-point, a dark fibre ring or point-to-multipoint solution.
You may choose to do this yourself or you could choose an experienced, specialist partner who can also provide discounts through existing relationships and the buying power that comes from them.
We can guide you through the process and save you money.
