Peregrine Long Haul
Dark-fibre infrastructure that gives you unrestricted connectivity between predefined sites along the long-haul route from a submarine-cable landing station to a metro.
Peregrine is the foundation of our dark-fibre network. Our network footprint in metro areas and smaller towns is extensive. This means that you can connect almost any site to another using the most reliable and unimpeded communications technology available today.
Architecture
With Peregrine Long Haul, you can take full advantage of dark fibre along our long-haul routes.
