Dark fiber, also known as unlit fiber, refers to a spare network fiber utilized in telecom and network communications and is a point-to-point connectivity option for securely delivering high-speed data applications. Unlimited bandwidth, high scalability, complete network control, and support cloud capabilities are the significant benefits of dark fiber. Universities and other government organizations frequently choose dark fiber to build their networks due to the improved security and flexibility of administering their networks directly. However, complicated installation and inadequate monitoring systems have impeded the expansion of the technology. The dark fiber industry is driven by increasing internet service penetration, a desire for dependable and secure networks, and rising demand for internet bandwidth. Furthermore, technical improvements and the growing demand for intensive data handling in manufacturing and logistics provide additional room for the dark fiber market to expand. Moreover, dark fiber is scalable and allows the creation of a personalized network for organizations without investing in fiber-optic infrastructure. Fueled by 5G, edge computing, the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and ultra-high-definition video, many enterprises are increasingly turning their attention toward investing in dark fiber connectivity.
