Massive throughput
Move very large datasets, backups, and media files quickly between connected sites.
Data Networking
Wavelength Services for ultra‑high‑capacity transport.
Use dedicated optical wavelengths between key sites to move massive volumes of data with low latency and predictable performance.
Optical wavelength transport
Very high throughput
Low and predictable latency
Built for data‑hungry applications
Wavelength Services are ideal for replication, backups, media, and large‑scale data movement between major sites.
- Move terabytes and petabytes quickly between locations.
- Use diverse paths to improve resilience.
- Support high‑bandwidth workloads like analytics and media.
When do Wavelength Services make sense?
Wavelengths are best when you need very high throughput and low latency between a small number of important locations, such as data centers or large campuses.
They are often used alongside Ethernet or IP services to complete a multi‑layer network design.
Low latency
Support time‑sensitive workloads with consistent, optical‑class latency.
Private optical paths
Use dedicated wavelengths rather than sharing capacity with other customers.
Workloads that benefit from Wavelength Services
Media and content
Transfer large media files, live feeds, and production assets between studios and data centers.
Analytics and research
Move scientific, financial, or big data workloads between compute locations quickly.
Healthcare imaging
Support large imaging files and backup traffic between hospitals and archives.
Wavelength Services FAQs
How are Wavelength Services different from Ethernet?
Wavelengths operate at the optical layer and can deliver higher capacities and lower overhead compared to Ethernet, but typically connect a smaller set of sites.
Do I need special equipment?
You may need compatible optics and equipment that can terminate wavelengths. Your design specialist can walk through the requirements.
