Lumen Wavelength Solutions provide dedicated, high-capacity optical connections over a private Layer 1 network, delivering low latency and secure point-to-point connectivity between data centers, cloud providers, and enterprise locations.

Unlike shared or packet-based services, Lumen Wavelengths offer dedicated, point-to-point connectivity at Layer 1. This allows for fast data transmission, low latency, and optimized security—ideal for applications and workloads requiring consistent, high-throughput performance.

Lumen offers connectivity speeds of 10 Gbps, 100 Gbps, and 400 Gbps based on customer requirements and route availability.

Absolutely. Lumen Wavelengths provide direct, high-performance connectivity to major cloud providers across their North American availability zones—including AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and more—via Lumen® Cloud Connect solutions.

Lumen provides customers with monitoring tools for visibility into performance metrics, as well as advanced diagnostic capabilities through Lumen Connect and APIs.

Lumen facilitates seamless migration from shared network services to dedicated wavelength connectivity, providing expert guidance, tailored solutions, and flexible deployment options to meet your organization's evolving needs.

Our Wavelength Solutions are engineered for maximum uptime, offering service level agreements (SLAs) for service availability. Customers typically build their network with multiple, diverse wavelengths to achieve the level of resilience they require. The network's design includes redundant paths and automatic failover capabilities to maintain continuous service even in the event of a disruption.

Yes, Lumen offers tailored wavelength solutions to meet the unique requirements of various industries, including finance, healthcare, media, technology, public sector, and more. These solutions can include specific routing, bandwidth allocations, and security measures to align with industry regulations and performance standards.

Lumen Wavelength Solutions are designed to be highly scalable. Customers can start with bandwidth as low as 10 Gbps and scale up to 400 Gbps or more, depending on their evolving needs, allowing the network to grow alongside the business.

Absolutely. Lumen provides options for both diverse routing and protection to enhance network resilience. Protected routes offer automatic failover in case of a path failure, while diverse routing keeps multiple paths from sharing the same physical infrastructure, minimizing the risk of simultaneous outages.
