Dark fiber is the ultimate solution for companies that don’t want to be dependent on external fiber optic providers and wish to remain in control of their own Internet connections. An unlit optical fiber connection offers unlimited bandwidth that can be used completely as desired.
Dark fiber is an unlit optical fiber connecting two locations. Practically, there is no bandwidth limit and the lighting equipment on both sides determines the attainable speed, for example 1, 4 or 10 Gbit/s. This connection is completely ready for the future. If you don’t want to share a (business) fiber-optic connection, dark fiber is the way to go with complete security and unlimited bandwidth. The costs don’t depend on the amount of Mbit/s, but only on the dark fiber connection itself.
Managed dark fiber
DataWeb also offers managed dark fiber. A managed dark fiber connection means that you experience all the benefits, but none of the worries regarding, for example, cable maintenance, cable breakage, or excavation works. In the Netherlands, unused cables are not allowed to remain in the ground. DataWeb therefore controls the entire process, from the works (permit request, planning, coordination, digging) to every aspect of maintenance.
