GÉANT Lambda



GEANT Lambda is a service providing full 10 Gbps wavelengths to support NREN users with particularly demanding network requirements

The GÉANT Lambda service provides private, transparent 10 Gbps wavelengths between any two GÉANT NRENs connected to the GÉANT dark fibre cloud. These services are used by Europe’s most data intensive users. The provision of a fully transparent service puts the user in control at the network transport layer and offers ultimate flexibility regarding the use of that circuit.

GÉANT Lambda is available to pan-European projects and users via NRENs with access to GÉANT dark fibre. Take a look at the GÉANT Topology Map or see a list of routes where the GÉANT Lambda service is available.

  
Features of GÉANT Lambda

• GÉANT Lambda provides a 10 Gbps wavelength connection between two GÉANT NRENs connected over the GÉANT dark fibre network.
• A GÉANT Lambda is presented to the NREN as a transparent wavelength on which they can then develop their own higher-level network layers.
• When building a network of GÉANT Lambdas, a diversely routed backup Lambda can be added to provide resiliency in the case of a fibre cut.

The GÉANT Lambda service is available to pan-European projects and users via Europe’s NRENs. Visit the Partners page for links to GÉANT's NREN project partners.
