How our Dark Fibre benefits you #
A true Dark Fibre provider
Unlike other Dark Fibre providers, dense local access Dark Fibre RAN backhaul is fundamental to our business. We make our products and services available to the market while seeking ongoing feedback from our customers to capture and align our roadmap to future requirements through a mix of bespoke and standard solutions that help MNOs densify their network.
Greater control on costs
Our Dark Fibre enables operators to move away from opex based services, gain control of costs for increasing bandwidths and support future RAN architectures like CRAN, VRAN and ORAN while achieving the lowest latency needed to underpin the latest 5G specifications (3GPP).
Long term security of tenure
We believe that Dark Fibre is an integral part of the MNO network architecture and future-proofs the network. Such a cornerstone element of the network must be secured on a long-term basis to achieve the full economic and operational advantages.
