Wavelength services deliver managed capacity on a standard service model. Dark fiber requires you to own the optical layer and run everything yourself. For the right buyer on the right route, managed spectrum is the smarter call.
You get dedicated optical capacity on our infrastructure. We manage the optical layer. And you’re never forced into a fully standardized wavelength product.
It's a practical fit when you need more flexibility or dedicated capacity than a standard wavelength provides, but don't want to staff up for full optical layer management. Availability is route-specific, and the right fit depends on your corridor and capacity requirements.
You're getting optical capacity that's dedicated to you, not shared bandwidth on a managed service. That means performance consistency at the optical layer, without the capital and operational commitment of dark fiber.
We manage the optical layer, across monitoring, performance engineering and operational oversight. You gain the capacity benefits without building an internal team to run it.
Not every capacity need fits neatly into a standard wavelength product. With managed spectrum, you get dedicated optical capacity at configurations and capacity levels that sit outside standard lit service offerings.
Managed spectrum runs on a 400G-ready DWDM backbone with at least three diverse wave routes into major backbone locations, all managed at 40% utilization. You benefit from route diversity and capacity headroom that’s built in from the start.
Managed spectrum availability is route-specific. Tell us your corridor and requirements and we'll give you a straight answer on whether this is the right product or if something else is a better fit.
Ziply Fiber’s network spans key markets from the West Coast to Chicago and Ashburn, with dense metro fiber rings across Seattle, Portland, Hillsboro, Boise and Spokane and a unique Northern Link Route reaching Minneapolis and Chicago. Salt Lake City, Denver and beyond are already on the map, and we're adding reach continuously.
Behind that footprint is a 400G-ready DWDM backbone with at least three diverse wave routes into major backbone locations, each managed at 40% utilization, so there's always headroom when you need it.
Private, unlit capacity, fully under your control. For buyers who want to run the optical layer themselves.
