Alpheus Provides Dark Fiber to Businesses
A lpheus Communications launched a
managed dark fiber service that gives
enterprise businesses access to virtu-
ally unlimited high-capacity bandwidth via a
dark fiber solution designed, managed and
monitored by Alpheus engineers.
The service will help to meet growing
demand from high-data utilization businesses
that need to connect their headquarters with
other large operating locations, including
their data center facilities.
The service is designed for large busi-
nesses that want high-capacity metro
bandwidth connection across two or more
locations. With traditional dark fiber network
implementations, significant upfront capital
is spent to purchase long-term indefeasible
right of use (IRU), commonly lasting 20 to
30 years, and ongoing expenses
are incurred for network maintenance
and management.
Alpheus’ offering gives businesses the
option to leverage its fiber network expertise
to implement a dark fiber network solution
tailored to the individual business’ strategic
growth goals.
The managed dark fiber service offers large,
regional businesses many benefits, including:
• Unmatched scalability and virtually unlim-
ited bandwidth;
• Fiber network infrastructure dedicated to
the business;
• Customized design to meet each busi-
ness’ unique needs, from connecting
two locations with a point-to-point fiber
configuration or a fiber ring network
with access points connecting multiple
locations;
• Eliminates high upfront capital costs of
fiber network build-out; and
• Replaces long-term IRU agreements with
flexible contract terms tailored to the busi-
ness needs.
“We are responding to large businesses
that need high-capacity bandwidth beyond
wavelength services, but don’t want the
commitment of long-term dark fiber IRU
contracts and tying up valuable IT resources
for network maintenance,” said Francisco
Maella, COO, Alpheus Communications,
which is also a sponsor of The INCOMPAS
Show. “There are significant complexities in
building a fiber network, and large businesses
are telling us they want reliable
high-capacity bandwidth, but prefer to leverage
Alpheus’ expertise to design, implement and
manage their fiber infrastructure.” p
