About Cogent's Network:
Cogent's end-to-end optical network consists of multiple metropolitan IP-over-WDM
fiber rings located in Cogent's major markets throughout the United States and
Europe. Cogent currently has a presence in over 95 markets throughout North
America and Europe. Cogent's network provides each building or data center with
up to 5 Gbit/s of dedicated bandwidth. Layer 3 edge routers in each building are
connected to Cisco Layer 3 Terabit core routers over two diverse optical paths.
These core routers are tied together via an international backbone network
consisting of multiple 10 Gbit/s DWDM optical links. With a currently
implemented capacity of 80 Gbit/s in the United States and 40 Gbit/s in Europe,
Cogent's international IP network is the largest in the world and is scalable to
a total capacity of over one Terabit.
Today, using light to communicate provides
nearly unlimited opportunities. Nothing can match the speed and capacity
obtained by channeling multiplexed light waves through hair-thin strands of
glass. In the past, fiber optic technology was prohibitively expensive. Cogent's
radical economics have changed that.
Cogent Communications brings optical Internet access to your business for a
fraction of the cost you're probably paying now for slower copper! With its own
network, Cogent has 100% fiber both along its backbone and throughout its
Metropolitan Area Networks (MANs). More importantly, Cogent takes its fiber the
"last mile" into your building!
The Cogent international backbone is designed to operate at OC-192, the MAN
rings at OC-48. Our network uses ring redundancy and protected optronics to
ensure survivability and availability of service.
The MAN rings on Cogent's network are provisioned with a finite number of
buildings. This configuration enables Cogent to offer each customer a fully
dedicated, non-oversubscribed 100 Mbps connection that is not shared with anyone
else. This approach represents a singular opportunity in the market place.
Cogent uses the most advanced optical networking technology and smart networking
configurations to ensure you receive the highest performance levels. With
optical networking's promise of speed and capacity and Cogent's commitment to
quality, we're unleashing the Internet's true potential.
