Based on Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM), this point-to-point connection service uses only optical fibre, enabling transmission speeds of 2.5Gbit/s, the fastest in our bandwidth portfolio. This makes Wavestream ideal for large corporates - particularly in the IT, finance and media sectors - that are running bandwidth hungry applications like network build, data and disaster recovery centres. There are four variants:
- Wavestream Metro - for the connection of two to six sites in major UK urban areas within 35km of a DWDM network entry point.
- Wavestream Connect - for sites more than 25km apart and within 35km of a DWDM point.
- Wavestream National - for the connection of any two sites UK wide.
- Wavestream Regional - for the transmission of large files between sites within a 60km radial distance.
All Wavestream options offer:
- Flexibility - supports multiple protocols so you can consolidate networks and cut costs.
- Easy scalability - add wavelengths as your needs change or your business or traffic grows.
- Improved efficiency by consolidating data centres and networks.
- Resilience can be added by exercising the option of diverse routing between sites.
- Protection for your critical data assets.
- Fast fault response - Total Care maintenance is included in the price, offering 24/365 availability with 4-hour report response and 5-hour target fault clearance.
- Simplified administration - one supplier, one contract, one contact.
- Peace of mind - world-class technology, with secure end-to-end management.
