Level 3 Intercity Wavelength Service

The Level 3 Intercity Wavelength service provides high-speed, dedicated, point-to-point, unprotected wavelength service at speeds of 2.5 Gbps and 10 Gbps.

Managing Growth While Maintaining Performance
Not every intercity network need is met by dark fiber and private line services. Dark fiber solutions can require large upfront investments, and private line solutions may come with unneeded protection. The Level 3 Intercity Wavelength service provides high-speed, dedicated, point-to-point, unprotected wavelength service that enables customers with their own protection schemes to buy only the bandwidth they need, without the unnecessary costs of built-in protection.

  • Transparency — provides the network transparency to control management and protection schemes
  • Proven support — services include designing, building and operating your network, delivered with a track record and experience in providing backbone solutions to the world’s most sophisticated customers

Benefits

Delivering proven experience and leadership in backbone solutions

Your dedicated team of network architects is the same group responsible for designing the Level 3 Network. With proven experience in building, managing, and maintaining customer backbone solutions, we’re committed to collaborative network design.

Investing to scale with your business

Significant, ongoing investments in network scale make Level 3 a partner that can support your growth. In the last year, we’ve overbuilt the vast majority of the network with next-gen DWDM to respond more quickly to your growing capacity needs.

Ensuring quality and performance

Our facilities-based network has fully mirrored, 24 x 7 Network Operations Centers (NOCs) in three different time zones. We ensure diversity by minimizing network spurs and collapsed intercity rings; building diverse laterals and offering physical, electrical, and dual-gateway diversity options. When your high bandwidth, survivable applications require diversity, Level 3 offers you a broad portfolio of physical transport routes. For example, Level 3 is one of the few global network operators that offers three or more physically distinct routes in and out of 72 North American cities, and 4, 5 or 6 routes out of some major markets.
