Your Dark Fiber is a Stranded Asset. Here's How to Monetize It
In the boardroom, infrastructure is often seen as a cost center. But what if your single largest network asset—your fiber optic plant—could be transformed into your most potent revenue generator? The economics of Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) make this a tangible reality. DWDM is the ultimate force multiplier for your capital expenditure. Instead of incurring the multi-million dollar costs and 18-month timelines of laying new fiber (with permits, rights-of-way, and construction risks), DWDM allows you to "create" virtual fiber paths over your existing physical infrastructure. The business case is compelling: maximize the return on your sunk fiber investment. Consider the applications: Wholesale & Leased Lines: Package and sell individual wavelengths to carriers, hyperscalers, or large enterprises as ultra-secure, dedicated "lit fiber" connections. Future-Proofing: Deploy a high-capacity DWDM backbone today that can support unknown future techno...
