Research Summary
Dark fiber networks refer to fiber optic cables that are installed but not yet activated or "lit" with the necessary equipment for transmitting data. Unlike traditional fiber optic networks, which are used to carry data for internet, phone, and other communication services, dark fiber networks are essentially unused and remain dark until they are leased or purchased by a company or organization to establish their own private network infrastructure. Dark fiber is often installed by telecommunication companies, utilities, or municipalities for future expansion or as part of infrastructure development plans. By leasing dark fiber, companies can have complete control over their data transmission, bandwidth, and network performance, making it an attractive option for businesses with high data demands or sensitive information. Dark fiber networks provide scalability, flexibility, and enhanced security, as they operate independently of shared public networks. As a result, dark fiber has become increasingly popular in industries such as finance, healthcare, education, and government, where reliable and secure data transmission is essential.
