    October 6th, 2020; Uniti Group, a provider of mission critical communications infrastructure, announced that it will begin offering nationwide dark fiber services on 31,000 fiber route miles, spanning 35 states across Tier I, II and III markets. Uniti has full ownership and use of this fiber network consisting of 2.2 million fiber strand miles as part of its previously announced settlement agreement with Windstream. Combined with its existing network, Uniti is now able to offer dark fiber services on over 3 million strand miles of fiber. Metro, regional, and long haul fiber will be available in these markets through IRU or lease structures. Conduit infrastructure will also be available in select markets.

    Scope of Dark Fiber Market Report:

    The dark fiber is an idle optical fiber that is used in network and telecom communications. It is also known as unlit fiber or black fiber. It is called dark because no light pulsation is being transmitted through it. There are number of ways to assemble a dark fiber network. The point-to-point or point-to-multipoint configurations are the mainly general ways to set-up whereas dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) is a significant factor in the development and improvement of dark fiber. The dark fiber network provides scalability, enhanced security, compact network latency, and consistency. There are mainly two types of dark fibres which are; single mode fiber and multimode fiber. These fibers are predominately used in telecommunication, IT and ITES. Moreover, Dark Fiber Networks also find extensive applications in the automotive, healthcare, and aerospace sector banking, insurance, financial services industries, healthcare and restaurants world that never stops. Dark fibre networks are point to point and self-healing ring. Because both ends of the link are controlled by the similar association, dark fibre networks can operate using the latest optical protocols using wavelength division multiplexing to add capacity where needed, and to offer an upgrade path between technologies. First dark fibre was installed in the U.S. during the telecom boom of the late 1990s and early 2000s.

    COVID-19 pandemic has affected the dark fiber industry in ssecond and third quarter of 2020, mainly due to slow down in various end-user verticals. During COVID-19 pandemic, the installation of dark fibers as construction work across the world was temporarily shut down to curb the spread of the infection and the demand was also decreased. Due to COVID-19 pandemic, the global telecom industry apparently faced major delays in initiation the fifth-generation mobile service. However, only 33% of IT budgets shrunk, and most budgets aligned spending on mobile access and security enhancements. Moreover, these lockdowns have also impacted the per capita income of individuals across the world. The low disposable income has resulted in reduced purchasing power of masses, thereby resulting in a decline in the growth for the whole market. However, the outbreak of COVID-19 has basically affected players working in dark fiber value chain. The growing deployment of 5G network in the ISPs and telecom industry is one of the key components energizing the development of the dark fiber market.
