Overview
Point-to-point private communications, secured
Some providers design their network to maximize their profit. We design our network to maximize performance. We’re well known in the industry for having some of the lowest-latency routes for private line service — and those who know the real importance of network design recognize the difference. Our ELINE and ELAN solutions bring you ultra-fast speed, guaranteed quality of service, and scalable wire-speed encryption for end-to-end data protection. Whether you need site-to-site or multisite connections, we place your geographically separate locations under one virtual roof.
Flexible and Scalable
Whatever scale you go by, we can match it, cable for cable
Our private line services come with the same flexibility that’s throughout our 25,000+ miles of carrier-grade, low-latency, highly resilient fiber optic network. We can scale our services up or down, depending on your custom needs.
Encrytped Wavelength
Layer 1 encryption without compromise
With some solutions you can have security or performance. With FirstLight’s Encrypted Wavelength, you can have both. While many in-flight data encryption solutions only encrypt data at layer 2 or higher, our Encrypted Wavelength solution encrypts data at the transport layer, protecting all your in-flight data at layer 1 all the time.
SD-WAN
Get best-in-class security with SD-WAN
Looking for the next best thing in managing your network? FirstLight’s SD-WAN solution can be built on top of our private line services to give you the ultimate in management and security.
