Lumen announced some key milestones in the expansion of its U.S. intercity dark fiber network and 400 Gbps wavelength service:
- Lumen has deployed its U.S. intercity wavelength network across 70 markets. This gives customers unparalleled, diverse routing options in building a resilient core digital network.
- Today, over 240 data centers are enabled for 400G Lumen Wavelength Services, and more than 800TB of capacity currently runs across the network.
- Lumen is fulfilling customer orders of more than 50TB of 400G wavelengths.
- The intercity expansion will continue throughout 2023 and beyond, extending this network and pushing it deeper into the metro edge.
“The Lumen network is our crown jewel, and our network infrastructure solutions are at the core of what we do,” said Miriana Martinova, SVP, Lumen Enterprise Core Network Solutions. “We’re investing to win. We see a significant demand from enterprises, government agencies, hyperscalers and wholesale customers for high-bandwidth interconnections between their data centers and public cloud. Combining our upgraded intercity fiber network with our next generation wavelength network helps these businesses quickly and securely enable a digital journey that can take them well into the future.”
