At-a-Glance

Fibre networks can seem very different so that organisations that are more used to operating traditional ITinfrastructures may baulk at the prospect of being responsible for ‘Layer 1’ and the analogue world of fibrecommunication with complexities such as Chromatic Dispersion, Latency and Wavelength planning.

Fortunately Sorrento Networks has many years of experience in the Fibre networking arena. We understand physics and the potential pitfalls in fibre network operation. We know how to run and maintain fibre networks.We know how to connect remotely to fibre equipment, interrogate fibre networks, and ensure that the correct resources deployed as necessary.

We can do this in a traditional maintenance manner where we advise you of network status as required or asan outsourced Service Desk manner following ITIL principles where we look after your network as an end to en service and advise on its evolution, in a complete ‘As A Service’ sense that resembles a traditional leased line or broadband service – while maintaining it as an asset that belongs to your organisation.

Modern optical networks offer remote control and management that turns Dark Fibre, IRU and Leased Fibre networks into actual usable Networks. They also provide the ability to integrate into wider management systems together with other technologies such as Gateways, Switches, Firewalls and servers. Standard management interfaces, featuring both traditional and enhanced SNMP (with encryption and secure access),offer the ability to remotely interrogate, and control fibre systems, providing easy to use solutions. We can help you integrate these systems into your own network infrastructure, or we can even do it for you.

If you would rather not get involved in Layer 1 Fibre technology then from our facilities in the UK and USA we can offer remote control and management of your fibre network, turning your network technology into a service in the sense of a traditional Carrier Leased Line, but one where you own the infrastructure and hence do not pay many times the same service type when you upgrade to higher bandwidths.

WDM as a Service! You heard of it first here!

– but actually there’s more than that, be it GPON, Ethernet or Wifi? Yes we do that!
