For customers interested leveraging their own Fiber Optic Transmission equipment to "create their own backbone," Broadwing Wavelength provides the power of OC48 (2.5 Gbps) and OC192 (10 Gbps) circuits without the restrictions of synchronous optical network (SONET) signaling overhead.

Wavelength, commonly known as lambda, is a 2.5-Gbps or 10-Gbps optical circuit delivered to as an unprotected (1+0) synchronous optical network (SONET) signal. This service is easily scalable, uses bandwidth efficiently, and can support any communications protocol.

Smooth Migration
Broadwing's SONET integration system facilitates a smooth migration path between the ring-based and meshed topologies of your networks. You can easily integrate your SONET architecture with the long-haul capabilities of Broadwing Wavelength without having to reconfigure your regional SONET networks.

Protocol Independence
With a protocol-independent universal optical interface, Broadwing Wavelength service can transport existing or new protocols and support other vendors' equipment on the edges of your network.

Unlimited Capacity
With Broadwing Wavelength transport and multi-terabit expansion less regeneration and amplification equipment is required to expand your network. Our bandwidth-on-demand capability enables us to add capacity to your network quickly and easily as your business needs change. And, since we own and operate our 18,500+ mile network, capacity is instantly available whenever you need it.

Fast Delivery
Broadwing's optical route provisioning increases efficiency of local and transit traffic and decreases provisioning times to minutes or hours instead of weeks or months.
