Benefits of Voice Connect’s Dark Fibre

Almost unlimited bandwidth

Can carry virtually unlimited bandwidth, limited only by the equipment installed on each end of the service.

ISO 9001 Certified

Voice Connect operates an ISO 9001:2008 certified management system that assures the quality of installation, management and maintenance.

Complete control of your WAN

Complete bandwidth and network protocol flexibility – upgrade by changing your hardware and upstream configuration.

With Voice Connect’s Dark Fibre, you can:

  • Rapidly and cost-effectively upgrade without any additional carrier costs as your business requirements and technology evolve
  • Run 10Gbps Ethernet, FibreChannel (SAN) or multiple DWDM wavelengths across the service by connecting the corresponding hardware at each end
  • Benefit from improved reliability and significantly lower latency with dedicated glass when compared to traditional managed carrier services
  • Securely transfer data because the fibre is not shared with other customers
