FiberLight is introducing LightSource Ultra, a new suite of purpose-built, high availability optical transport services including SONET, Ethernet and Wavelengths. LightSource Ultra provides the highest degree of reliability, performance and security that FiberLight customers expect, and offers something more, a platform in which to conduct business, whether that business is financial trading or selling books online.

“FiberLight has created LightSource Ultra based on our decade of experience operating optical networks supporting the enterprise, government and the wholesale telecommunications industry. We realized business segments including Financial Services, Web 2.0-based businesses, and the Government marketplace were supporting highly-specialized, mission-critical applications, which have very specific requirements of low latency, ultra availability and stringent security. Customers have come to rely on FiberLight as the go-to service provider for complicated network infrastructure needs or near impossible time frames to get services up and running; LightSource Ultra was a natural fit in response to that need,” said Ben Edmond, Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing at FiberLight.

FiberLight owns and leverages more than 500,000 miles of underground fiber to deliver latency specifications sub 2 milliseconds, provide service level agreements at 100 percent uptime, and offer every LightSource Ultra customer dedicated electronics and dedicated fiber, with security that is not matched in the marketplace.

“We address the need for a network platform that does not go down by engineering the network to the specifications needed to ensure 100 percent reliability, to include dual fiber entrances with specific engineering distance requirements, equipment with card and power protection,” Mr. Edmond said.  “Because we own our own fiber networks, we are able to design a solution with the lowest possible latency in our markets.  LightSource Ultra is the new premium product to get when our clients need a connection that is not just another connection.”
