    Dark fibre? What is it and how can your business benefit?

    I've been reading up on connectivity and fibre and came across Dark Fibre. A dark fibre network is a privately operated optical fibre network that is run directly by its operator over dark fibre leased or purchased from another supplier, rather than by purchasing bandwidth or leased line capacity.

    It is quite new to the South African market, but has been the standard in Europe for years. How can dark fibre benefit your business? 

    From the research I've gathered, it seems as if Dark Fibre is carrier neutral (great) and is able to carry voice, data and internet, seamlessly.

    What can Dark fibre networks be used for? We can call the Dark Fibre, the landlord allowing:
    1. private networking
    2. Internet access
    3. Internet infrastructure networking
    Dark fibre networks may be:
    1. point-to-point
    2. point-to-multipoint
    3. use self-healing ring or mesh topologies

    So what's the big deal?
    Dark Fibre access allows companies to increase business operations without spending huge amounts of cash (capital) and all of this possible due to the change in the Electronics Communications Act in 2004. Prior to the change in Act, operators were simply not allowed to offer their own networks, now they can.
