Uniti Wholesale signs new customer for FastWaves service
Uniti Wholesale reported signing a new customer for eight 400G circuits and delivered FastWaves-eligible circuits in 14 days, two weeks after launching the service in March 2026.
The company's FastWaves program pre-deploys muxponders across select high-demand long-haul routes on its Intelligent Converged Optical Network. This approach enables eligible 100G and 400G wave services to be delivered in three weeks or less, according to the company statement.
"Customers are telling us very clearly that speed matters," said Greg Ortyl, executive vice president and president of Uniti Wholesale. "They need capacity delivered faster and more predictably, in a way that helps them move at the pace of their business."
The service targets AI workloads, hyperscalers, neocloud providers, international carriers, and large enterprises requiring faster deployment of high-capacity services. Customers can view eligible routes, generate quotes, and place orders through the iconnect customer portal's Route Creator tool.
Uniti Wholesale operates as a business unit of Uniti (NASDAQ: UNIT), providing dark fiber infrastructure and high-capacity wavelengths, ethernet and wireless access services to hyperscale firms, communications providers, Fortune 500 enterprises and government customers in the U.S. and Canada.
