How Do I Get Started?

Optical Networking covers a broad range of technologies that play a key role in today’s multi-layer networks. Still, a lot of people are unfamiliar with the technology or its purpose. We have a team of experts with deep industry knowledge and experience in designing, deploying and training.
Evaluate
The complex nature of Optical Networking can prove challenging for business and IT decision makers alike. Our industry experts work with you to understand your business needs and identify solutions best suited to deliver a return on investment. 
Design
Our Advanced Technology Center (ATC) can replicate your network at scale to showcase how a particular optical solution will interoperate with your current architecture. Confidently deploy solutions you know will work in the field as intended.
Implement
Optical solutions are notorious for shipping dozens of individual packages that require significant time and expertise to assemble on-site. Using our global Integration Centers, we can stage customer solutions from a single node to an entire network. Just plug it in and it's ready to go. We offer a number of additional services designed to ensure smooth deployment — from assessing the health of fibre and site readiness to installation services and refresh upgrades.
Operate
Optical Networking expertise is in short supply. Leverage our deep industry know-how with custom training that can be hosted on your site. We have more than a dozen customizable training courses to educate your staff on how to operate your new gear moving forward.
