What is Dark Fiber?

The Dark Fiber service offers operators and carriers who want to build their own private physical network, a non-illuminated fiber optic infrastructure, in point-to-point topology. The service can be complemented by an extended backhaul service, giving operators the opportunity to benefit from one end-to-end service.

What does the Dark Fiber service consist of?

The Dark Fiber service provides single-mode fibers, compliant with ITU-T G.652D and G655 standards, suitable for long-distance and high-speed transmissions

The Dark Fiber service benefits from the largest fibers optic network in Romania, with a dense metropolitan network infrastructure, more than 85,000 km in the distribution network and a backbone infrastructure of over 26,000 km with multiple intercity routes

Additional services available:

  • Placement – for repeater stations and transmission systems is provided in a common or individual room (if possible). Permanent access to the installation and operation of the equipment in the colocation chamber is available in accordance with the colocation procedure in force
  • Power supply – Power supply facilities are provided on our premises
  • Extended Loop – The Extended Loop service consists of providing a physical FO connection between our PoPs and the operator's PoPs, upon request

  • A multiple-year lease with a recurring monthly charge (MRC)
    or
  • A prepaid lease for a large number of years, with an advance payment of a leasing amount (IRU)
