OSA Filter Connect: dedicated dark fibre, ready for optical multiplexing
Unmanaged, dedicated fibre pairs between your sites, paired with Optical Spectrum Alliance (OSA) filter connect technology — giving you complete control over your own optical network.
Your own private optical network.
Dark fibre is unlit, unmanaged fibre optic cable leased directly to your organisation — no shared bandwidth, no carrier equipment in the path, and complete control over the optical layer. Paired with OSA Filter Connect, dark fibre becomes a platform you can scale to multiple wavelengths as your bandwidth needs grow.
Total control
You own the optical layer end to end — choose your own equipment, protocols and encryption without a carrier in between.
Unlimited scalability
With OSA Filter Connect multiplexing, add wavelengths as demand grows — from 1Gbs today to 100Gbs and beyond, on the same fibre pair.
Maximum security
With no shared infrastructure and no carrier switching in the path, dark fibre offers the highest level of physical network security available.
Multiple wavelengths, one fibre pair
Dedicated fibre pair provisioned
Stream provisions a dedicated, unmanaged fibre pair directly between your sites — no shared capacity with any other organisation.
OSA Filter Connect installed
Passive optical filters split the fibre into multiple independent wavelengths (channels), each capable of carrying its own signal.
Services run over dedicated wavelengths
Run separate services — data, storage replication, CCTV, voice — each on its own wavelength, fully isolated from the others.
Scale on demand
Add further wavelengths as requirements grow, without needing to lay new fibre or renegotiate a new circuit.
Built for organisations with serious bandwidth needs
Datacentre interconnect
High-capacity, low-latency links between datacentres for replication and disaster recovery.
Campus & multi-site networks
Connect large campuses, hospitals or industrial sites with dedicated capacity that scales with you.
Regulated & security-conscious organisations
Financial services, healthcare and government organisations that need full control over their network path.
