Dark Fibre Ownership on the Southern Cross Cable Network
Owning dark fibre on the Southern Cross network provides customers with unparalleled autonomy and strategic control over their international connectivity. With full end-to-end ownership, our fibre customers can manage the infrastructure as if it were their own—deploying preferred transmission equipment, configuring capacity to meet evolving needs, and even commercialising unused bandwidth by selling or leasing capacity to third parties.
Fibre Ownership Benefits
Fibre level control enables tailored performance, enhanced security, and future-proof scalability. Customers are free to optimise for latency, throughput, and redundancy according to their specific operational requirements, without reliance on shared or pre-configured services.
Leveraging Southern Cross' long-term IRU agreements—spanning 10 years or more— fibre ownership offers financial predictability and operational stability. These arrangements support virtually unlimited bandwidth upgrades over time, ensuring that your investment remains resilient and responsive to future demand, technological evolution, and market opportunities.
Long Term Value
Equip your own hardware to unlock deeper network visibility, tailor performance to your exact needs, and maximise the return on your capital investment. The BYO model empowers you to extend the lifespan of your existing infrastructure, strengthen security protocols, and adapt flexibly as your network evolves
Provisioning Control
Provisioning with your own equipment on Southern Cross dark fibre gives you unmatched timing control and deployment flexibility. You can activate services on your schedule—without waiting for third-party hardware lead times or integration delays—allowing rapid response to evolving business needs. Whether scaling bandwidth, testing new configurations, or migrating workloads, the BYO model lets you adapt instantly, streamline rollout phases, and align infrastructure changes with strategic milestones. This agility is especially valuable for high-demand environments, disaster recovery setups, or time-sensitive projects where every day counts.
