AboveNet Metro Wave Division Multiplexing (WDM) ServicesCost-Effective, High-Bandwidth Networking Today’s critical business applications rely on Gigabit Ethernet services, transparent LAN/WAN services and business continuity storage services. Emerging VOIP and video applications require optical infrastructures to deliver the performance needed - at a cost that’s affordable.
A Compelling ROI Story More networking power, Less price In many cases customer’s can expect an almost immediate return on their investment at an OC-3 service level. As they grow their network and expand services they will discover the bottom-line economics of WDM-based solutions, when compared with traditional SONET/TDM based services. Today, AboveNet connects thousands of businesses to each other and to their customers, partners and suppliers. When you combine our metro fiber with breakthrough WDM optical networking technology it changes the economics of delivering cost-effective networking to your enterprise. How AboveNet Can Help Your Enterprise
With More Networking Power, Less Waiting AboveNet’s Metro WDM services enhance your business needs today while offering a future-proof platform for growth. Now you can expand your network one wavelength at a time to reach more of your offices, employees, partners and customers with the applications that drive your business. Metro WDM delivers applications over all of today’s most popular network transport protocols. And, when it’s time to deploy another business application provisioning is “plug-n-play” fast, you can just add another Gigabit Ethernet connection or an OC-12 connection. That’s because we designed our network architecture with fewer elements. In fact, there are only two layers: dark fiber and optical networking technology. Adding incremental service to your network can be as simple as plugging in optical cards into the Metro WDM solution.
The Performance You Expect AboveNet offers high performance service with its unique combination of infrastructure and optical networking technology, with full service support of our state-of-the-art Network Management Center (NMC). Start Today With Your Top Business Priority
