A dedicated channel on our optical line system between two European sites. No shared packet layer, no contention, and a latency figure that depends on nothing but the route the fibre actually takes.
You hand us a client interface at each end, we carry it as a dedicated channel across our optical layer. There is no packet layer to share - nothing to contend with, no queue to sit behind on a busy evening.
Channel plans, launch levels and the design margin are ours to specify on the corridors we light, and we hold capacity there rather than buying a circuit each time somebody asks. So a wavelength on a route we already run is a provisioning task, not a construction project.

A straight line between two cities is a number anybody can produce and nobody can deliver. We quote the round trip the route actually has - written into the order - and if a shorter path exists we will tell you what moving onto it costs.
If you would rather own the optics end to end, we do the engineering to confirm the route budget supports it and hand you the channel - your transponders, your modulation, our line system.
Wavelengths are available between any pair of our sites. The spans below are lit today and can normally be delivered fastest.
A lambda is the bottom layer. The layers above it are the same order form.
Need the transparency but not 100G of it? The same corridors carry E-Line and E-LAN circuits at 1G-400G, protected where the route is diverse - and you can move up to a wavelength later without changing cities. EVPN-MPLS transport →
DC interconnect on the lambda, transit on the same handoff at either end - one cross connect, both services, and every prefix behind the DDoS filter from turn-up. Protected IP transit →
Route budgets, alien-wave feasibility, transponder selection and the measurements before you commit - by the people who run the line system you would be riding. Consulting & build →
1+1 optical protection where two physically diverse routes exist between the endpoints. Where they do not, we say so before you order - stated plainly rather than implied - and you decide whether your equipment handles failover instead.
Yes - alien wavelengths are supported. We confirm the route budget carries your modulation, agree the channel, and hand it over: your optics, our amplified line system.
It is quoted from the measured fibre of the actual route and written into the order - not estimated from a map. If a shorter path exists, we tell you what moving onto it costs.
10G, 100G and 400G client interfaces - 10GBASE-LR, 100GBASE-LR4, 400G LR4, and ZR/ZR+ subject to reach.
On a corridor we already light, it is a provisioning task measured in days. A new corridor is an engineering conversation first - we will tell you which of the two you are asking for.
