Broadwing: Connecting with customers at the speed of light  
   
   
   
 









Simply… The newest, biggest, fastest and best.

The newest
Our all-optical network is the newest generation in fiber optic cable, transmission and switching equipment. Broadwing has the most lit all-optical capacity in the world.

The biggest
Massive capacity means we can provide enough bandwidth to meet your capacity needs today, tomorrow and far beyond

The fastest
Because the network is already in place and pre-provisioned, implementation is speedy and economical

The best
Our all-optical network has far fewer moving parts than traditional legacy networks. Fewer parts mean less things to break and less things to break yields higher reliability and faster provisioning capabilities

Broadwing is the first carrier to complete a nationwide, all-optically switched network. Our award-winning network spans the continental U.S. and unlike many of our competitors, our network is lit and ready to provide you prompt, precise delivery of services.

While Broadwing's competitors have only begun pursuing all-optical technology, our fully deployed all-optically switched network has the available capacity, operational systems, and unique provisioning capabilities to deliver today's communications solutions on the platform for tomorrow's needs. We are focused every day on developing the advanced capabilities of our one-of-a-kind network and delivering faster, more reliable services at a competitive cost.

With Broadwing's all-optically switched network, provisioning times are dramatically decreased by "point-and-click" technology. Broadwing's entire all-optically switched network is controlled from an intelligent, remote management system that enables near real-time provisioning. Without the need for field intervention, we are able to remotely provision, substantially decreasing provisioning times. Our network infrastructure also reduces operating expenditures, equipment requirements, and conversion-based latency associated with traditional networks.

Broadwing also operates an award-winning OC48 speed, IP backbone. Our IP network is divided into eight core regions that allow us to transport signals directly between regions. This technology significantly speeds actual data throughput by minimizing the number of signal hops and allows us to carry more high-quality voice, video and time-critical data over the Internet for our customers.
