Wavelength services, offered by carriers, provide dedicated point-to-point connections using fiber optic cabling and DWDM technology for high-bandwidth data transmission.

Two main types exist: non-protected, offering a single connection with potential for service disruption, and protected, providing automatic failover to a backup connection for higher reliability.

Protected wavelengths offer various protection schemes (revertive or non-revertive) to manage traffic routing during and after outages. The increasing demand for secure and reliable data transmission makes wavelength services crucial for businesses and government agencies, especially with the rise of technologies like Edge Computing and 5G.
