Lumen Technologies is a global technology company that provides a wide range of communications and technology services. Following the company's expansion of its US intercity dark fibre network, Lumen confirms the build-out of its 400 Gbps wavelength network across 70 markets. Specifically, wavelength services boost Lumen's Network's value and provide enterprises with the required dedicated, secure connectivity.
Miriana Martinova, senior vice president of enterprise core network solutions at Lumen, said, "The Lumen network is our crown jewel, and our network infrastructure solutions are at the core of what we do. We're investing to win."
"We see significant demand from enterprises, government agencies, hyper scalers, and wholesale customers for high-bandwidth interconnections between their data centers and public cloud. Combining our upgraded intercity fiber network with our next-generation wavelength network helps these businesses quickly and securely enable a digital journey that can take them well into the future," Martinova added.

Additionally, Lumen provides organizations with a self-service tool, Topology Viewer, that allows them to quote, design, and build their wavelengths across Lumen's North American Network.
Wavelengths are more secure network solutions
By providing the necessary resilience, scalability, and ultra-low latency, Lumen Wavelength Services assist customers in upgrading their core digital networks. In addition, wavelengths are more secure network solutions since they are private and dedicated connections. Optical encryption also protects data as its transmitted.
