What is Dark Fiber?
Segra’s Dark Fiber service provides clients with complete operational control and ownership of a fully dedicated, private and secure network infrastructure without the need to physically construct the telecommunications backbone. This custom-built, non-lit (dark) point-to-point service between two locations offers a highly secure, low-latency connection. It is also ultra-scalable, with virtually unlimited bandwidth controlled by the customer’s electronics. Segra will engineer, install and maintain the fiber infrastructure, allowing you to activate the network and enjoy all the bandwidth your business requires.
