Geo's optical fibre backbone network is technology neutral - it can accept optical signals from any type of optical transmission equipment. The specification of the fibres in Geo's network ensure low dispersion and low attenuation characteristics. This reduces the number of optical repeaters required to build a long distance network and hence the cost of building a network. Using Geo and implementing a dedicated fibre network allows an organisation the widest choice of technologies, so delivering best organisational fit and cost.

New technology options are accelerating the use of dedicated fibre optic networks in numerous ways. Low cost CWDM systems are effective for lower capacity systems of around 20Gbit/s while DWDM services now allow 40Gbit/s signal on each of 40 wavelengths in every fibre. Moreover, Ethernet interfaces are making it much easier to knit previously disparate, widely separated LAN islands into a single, coherent, corporate wide LAN.

By building a network from a customer owned fibre foundation a platform is created with virtually unlimited bandwidth which the customer can use as required. And with greater bandwidth availability other costs can be cut. For example, the number of servers required to back up data can be reduced and with that, the amount of area required to store them – a potentially huge real estate saving opportunity for customers.

The technical advantage of leveraging a dedicated infrastructure is equalled only by the commercial benefits of transmitting data over your own fibre.

Geo contracts with specified preferred suppliers or our own carefully selected partners to design and build dedicated, high speed fibre optic networks to agreed customer requirements.
