Dark fibre is unlit optical fibre used to build private fibre optic networks. Unlike with competitors, we give our clients complete control over their fibres while also having the advantage of i2Grid’s extensive experience in building private network infrastructure.
Using dark fibre enables full bandwidth optimization and low latency, as you are the sole user with no network overhead involved. Not only are data needs met and delivered in rapid time, but they are also protected to the highest standard as each customer has a dedicated private network. Service upgrades can also be made without making changes to
Wavelength is where light, at a particular frequency or colour, can be multiplexed to offer several paths through a single fibre strand which allows multiple data packets to use the same cable at the same time.
i2Grid provides highly secure lines, given the networks private status, which is also configured to full transparency. Wavelength is the ideal choice for low-latency applications as it can operate high bandwidth applications at 2.5G, 10G, 40G and 100G.
As reliable and efficient technology connecting offices and high-bandwidth applications across enterprise, Ethernet consistently provides a strong network no matter the location and is suitable for high-range bandwidth applications while providing low latency that is inherent in layer-two networks.
IP Transit offers guaranteed performance levels in critical areas with high availability. This is supported with industry-leading SLAs. IP Transit is offered with flat monthly rates as well as burstable usage (95th percentile) and volume-based billing structures available in order to fit personal requirements.
Deliverable at virtually any location across the globe, IP transit is scalable with speeds from 5 Mbit/s up to 10 Gbit/s and has the possibility to multi-home with or without the use of BGP.
In the race for speed, companies still dependent on fibre optic may be left behind. Our customers benefit from forward-thinking connectivity solutions: we offer wireless microwave technologies that are 10% faster than traditional fibre cables while working together with industry leaders who are able to deliver reliable and scalable services.
i2Grid’s private, bespoke microwave service has significantly lower latency, simply because a signal takes a more efficient route to its destination opposed to fibre.
