Businesses can leverage dark fiber by deploying their own equipment and technology to establish private networks. With dark fiber, businesses have complete control over the network capacity and can scale it as needed. Additionally, dark fiber is typically offered at a fixed rate, providing cost predictability and avoiding the reliance on external service providers. This level of control and customization sets dark fiber apart from buying "lit" transport services, where the network infrastructure and capacity are managed by a service provider.
