Our customers need a <a href=\"https:\/\/zayoustrans.burbledev.com\/network\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/zayoustrans.burbledev.com\/network\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">network<\/a> that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Exists <em>where and when <\/em>they need it<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Can scale with their technology and bandwidth needs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Is built to be resilient and durable over the long term<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To this end, our network is purpose-built to meet our customers\u2019 diversity, latency, and resiliency requirements. Our unique fiber routes connecting key locations across North America are a big part of the Zayo network story.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is a Unique Wavelength Route?\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A unique wavelength route is a direct fiber <strong>route <\/strong>that is ecosystem-diverse. Zayo\u2019s unique Wavelength routes are routes you can\u2019t get from any other provider. When we say we\u2019re building a unique route, we\u2019re building a direct route that solves an infrastructure gap. It is not just a Zayo networking gap but also a gap in the broader infrastructure ecosystem.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We define our unique Wavelength routes as direct fiber routes that are diverse from existing infrastructure, have scalable capacity, provide low latency, and, in some cases, deliver rural connectivity where there wasn\u2019t connectivity previously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Faster, More Resilient Connectivity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our customers buy connectivity on unique Wavelength routes for a variety of reasons. Typically, they\u2019re improving network resiliency or latency, or both.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-vimeo wp-block-embed-vimeo wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Chaz Kramer on Zayo&#039;s Unique Routes\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/932546442?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Freedom from Disruption<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Customers seeking greater <a href=\"https:\/\/zayoustrans.burbledev.com\/resources\/what-is-network-resilience\/\"><strong>network resiliency<\/strong><\/a> will leverage diverse routes to ensure their network stays up no matter what. Diverse routes are routes consisting of fiber laid along geographically separated paths.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Zayo\u2019s unique Wavelength routes can act as primary routes or diverse routes, depending on the customer need. We even have customers with triverse and quadverse networks meaning we provide the third and fourth physically-separated network routes for maximum resiliency.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No single direct fiber route can guarantee 100% resilience and uptime. It\u2019s important for customers to build tri- and quad-verse topology into their network to achieve greater resilience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Customers seeking a more resilient network need at least one diverse route going into their location at a bare minimum.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With multiple diverse<strong> <\/strong>routes, customers can design a switched protection scheme to remain connected even if one route experiences an outage. Our Umatilla to Reno route \u2013 to be built by the end of this year \u2013 is a primary example of a route providing disaster-resistant diversity. This dark fiber route will not only be built distant from existing fault lines \u2013 leading to greater resiliency in the face of earthquakes \u2013 but it\u2019s also distanced from wildfire-prone areas in California, providing a great diverse option for customers with operations where natural disasters are frequent.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another reason customers seek unique Wavelength routes for diversity and resiliency is that they may still be leveraging old fiber or aerial fiber \u2013 both of which are more susceptible to network disruptions. Using newer fiber and fiber that is 100% underground adds that critical layer of diversity and resilience.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Need for Speed<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By buying <a href=\"https:\/\/zayoustrans.burbledev.com\/services\/fiber-transport\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/zayoustrans.burbledev.com\/services\/fiber-transport\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">fiber<\/a> on the fastest, most direct route in an ecosystem, customers can solve <strong>latency requirements<\/strong>.<a href=\"https:\/\/zayoustrans.burbledev.com\/resources\/a-guide-to-network-latency-understanding-and-minimizing-delays\/\"> Network latency<\/a> becomes a major element in organizations where high-speed data transmission is critical to success.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some examples of businesses with latency requirements include trading firms, carriers, and cloud service providers (CSPs) \u2013 these organizations depend on real-time communication and data transmission to succeed. By providing the shortest-distance connection between points A and Z with our unique fiber routes, we enable some of the lowest latency connections between key markets.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Zayo\u2019s Unique Routes&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All of Zayo\u2019s 12 North American unique Wavelength routes are:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>100% underground <\/strong>for the highest level of security and reliability.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>400G-enabled <\/strong>to keep up with growing bandwidth demands.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fast<\/strong> \u2013 offering the lowest latency options<strong> <\/strong>between key markets.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Physically diverse<\/strong> from other fiber providers, and from Zayo\u2019s existing network.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Purpose-built<\/strong> to solve diversity requirements.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All of our unique Wavelength routes are not only important on their own, they\u2019re critical components of the bigger network picture. Our unique Wavelength routes play an important role in connecting our long-haul 400G routes spanning from north to south and from coast to coast. These routes offer high-capacity fiber to customers with operations across North America, enabling them to confidently invest in bandwidth-intensive applications and scale their businesses with ease.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All of our direct, unique routes are strategically built to fill market gaps and help our customers meet their own latency and diversity needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meet our unique Wavelength routes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">D.C. and Columbus to Atlanta<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group group-block\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"977\" height=\"949\" src=\"https:\/\/zayoustrans.burbledev.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/COL-ASH-ATL@4x.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9634\" style=\"width:364px;height:auto\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zayoustrans.burbledev.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/COL-ASH-ATL@4x.png 977w, https:\/\/zayoustrans.burbledev.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/COL-ASH-ATL@4x-960x932.png 960w, https:\/\/zayoustrans.burbledev.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/COL-ASH-ATL@4x-768x746.png 768w, https:\/\/zayoustrans.burbledev.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/COL-ASH-ATL@4x-480x466.png 480w, https:\/\/zayoustrans.burbledev.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/COL-ASH-ATL@4x-640x622.png 640w, https:\/\/zayoustrans.burbledev.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/COL-ASH-ATL@4x-720x699.png 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 977px) 100vw, 977px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our latest unique route connects Columbus, D.C., and Atlanta in a Y shape.
