B³ Spectrum Service
Service Overview
Solutions
B³ Spectrum
Spectrum Service offers over 10Gbps connectivity with market breaking pricing. Our service connects key data center locations in Japan.
By using the OOLS Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) technology, we split the dark fiber capacity into wavelength grids (Spectrum) providing low cost high capacity connections. Customers can utilize the new transponder capabilities and use this spectrum grid for connections over 100Gbps, 200Gbps and 400Gbps and over. Spectrum can be a solution to balance the high bandwidth and low connectivity cost.
Why B³ Spectrum Services
Customer Benefits
- 1 Low Cost
- Compared to the 100Gbps private leased circuit in the market, spectrum cost can be lower than half.
- 2 High Capacity Service
- Customers can utilize the new transponder capabilities and use this spectrum grid for connections over from 10Gbps to 400Gbps and more.
- 3 Reliability
- Dark fibers used for the Spectrum service are designed with fiber route diversity. Furthermore, physical BPF (Band Pass Filter) are used to ensure security in optical level.
- 4 Short Delivery Time
- Delivery time for this Spectrum is very fast. Spectrum Service (Spectrum Grid) or Spectrum Plus Service (Bandwidth) can be installed in One month after customer order.This can be a new solution for upgrading your data center connection.
- 5 24/7/365 maintenance support in Japanese and English and reliable SLA
- Offering 24/7/365 contact window in Japanese and English is available to provide on-site support as needed. In addition, SLA (Service Level Agreement) are set for specific services, and the monthly fee is reduced depending on the time required for recovery in the event of a failure.
- 6 Support for connection verification with customer equipment
- Support for verification to test compatibility of Spectrum with customer equipment as needed.
- 7 Cloud connectivity to AWS, Azure, Oracle, etc. also available
- It can be used for various purposes such as cloud connectivity and IP transit.
- 8 Covers a wide area of connections
- It covers a wide area from the Tama in the west to the Inzai in the east, including connections for office buildings other than data centers.
Service Structure
Details
B³ Spectrum
We perform wavelength division multiplexing on single-mode optical fiber to provide the optical fiber to customers on a wavelength (Spectrum) basis. Connections of at least 100Gbps are possible per single wavelength. Adopting a BPF (Band Pass Filter) prevents interference from other wavelength grid. Therefore, Customers use the service comfortably with high security level that blocks signals to parties other than the customer.
We have also adopted OOLS (Open Optical Line System) that supports a variety of transponders, allowing us to construct connections with Alien Wavelengths connection capabilities.
Alien wavelength connection tests with various transponder manufacturers and device vendors has been completed. These tests confirmed the OOLS connection requirements.
Factors such as optical intensity, frequency, and the tests validated communication quality via bit error testing.
