Dark Fiber

The way Enterprise and Government Agencies utilize their network infrastructure, is constantly changing. As with the emergence of new technologies and the goal of "breaking down silos" and integrating data and the network infrastructure for companies and agencies is getting taxed. After the telecommunications/Internet boom, there has been a large availability of Dark Fiber. Dark fiber has been, and still is, available for sale on the wholesale market for both metro and wide area links, but it may not be available in all markets or city pairs. Prices for dark fiber may sometimes be lower than the price of a high speed leased line rental. Sometimes Dark Fiber may provide the lowest latency solution for Enterprise and sometimes the lit services would be ideal. With all these choices and obstacles both financial and logistical it is best to work with a Network Integrator, such as CFN Services, to help choose the best hybrid dark and lit fiber network.
