High-speed data service across Pan-European markets
Lambda Connect is a cost-effective alternative to building a private network, which enables the development of new applications and opens new business opportunities and markets. It provides high-speed reach across Europe with direct connectivity to North America and Asia. You can enjoy quadruple transfer speed with our 400GE Lambda Connect and be ready for future demands for higher capacity and scale. With one 400GE instead of 4 x 100GE, cross-connect fees can be reduced by up to 75% and overall costs by up to 25%. Our ultra-high bandwidth network connection also helps sustainability efforts as its bandwidth infrastructure requires less equipment, power and space.
Lambda Connect offers numerous advantages
We provide a terabit scale for wavelength services for PoP-to-PoP and POP to end customer locations, combining deep local knowledge with extensive coverage in Europe and beyond. A shared infrastructure delivers higher network utilization and reduces costs. We also enable our customers to build their wide area network requirements on top of our next-generation network. Based on the feedback of our customers, we are continuously developing our network with the aim to provide enhanced diversity and unique routes for our clients.
High performance, global network. Now with 400GE.
Discover our unmatched wavelength service presence
Our Lambda Connect is a lightning fast, secure expressway for the delivery of your large volumes of data – across the world. We’ve built it on top of our state-of-the-art DWDM architecture, based on Ciena’s WaveLogic technology. We connect you from data center to data center and even further, as we can provide extensive local coverage in our core countries to customer end points. Our unique capability connects you with high-capacity services even to the last mile – with our extensive in-country and cross-country networks which we continually expand.
Our DWDM network is optimized for diversity, which means that we can provide outstanding availability and highly reliable services. Our customers tell us that once a service is deployed over our network, it proves to be very stable and hassle-free. We are proud to have very skilled engineers in our teams with a comprehensive knowledge in network solutions, who can help our customers through the entire journey from network planning to operations. In addition, we are the first to deliver 400GE capacity over Lambda Connect. That means fewer interfaces, ports, power, space, equipment, and cooling requirements.
