Optical wavelength services are fiber optic, point-to-point, high bandwidth delivery-based services. They deploy dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) to multiplex multiple wavelengths across a fiber optic single strand for transporting excessive sets of data and files to data centers. Optical wavelength services are extensively employed in the telecommunication industry for high-resolution video streaming, data center interconnection and credit card processing. They offer various benefits, such as security, flexibility, end-to-end management of information technology (IT) staff, network maintenance, cost-effectiveness and real-time response.
