RapidRoutes^SM Built for High-Capacity Deployment

Pre-engineered 100G and 400G wavelength paths designed to activate high-capacity connectivity faster across the Lumen network.

RapidRoutes simplifies high-capacity wavelength deployment through:

Pre-engineered paths
Standardized designs
Concentrated infrastructure investment

As a result, RapidRoutes deployments can activate connectivity up to 2× faster than traditional Lumen Wavelength builds.*

Built for Unmatched Scale and Performance

That speed advantage is supported by one of the most capable intercity optical infrastructures in North America, including 340,000 fiber route miles and more than 100,000 route miles engineered for 400G wavelengths. Modern fiber architecture also enables approximately 2× the fiber density per conduit, with fiber technology delivering up to 25% less optical loss and 60% more capacity than traditional designs.*

Connect with a Lumen specialist to review route availability, capacity options, and deployment timelines across RapidRoutes.
