XKL, LLC, located in Redmond, Washington is an emerging provider of optical transport networking solutions. Led by CEO,
and Cisco Systems co-founder, Len Bosack, XKL has developed solutions based on DWDM technology (Dense Wavelength
Division Multiplexing) that epitomize the company's mission: Bring fundamental change to worldwide telecommunications.
The essence of XKL's DarkStar™ product line, led by the flagship DXM Optical Transport Unit, is elegantly simple. By
leveraging the inherently superior physics of fiber optic components, XKL products are designed in a way that helps
enterprises easily build private optical networks with massive bandwidth. Now enterprises can simply, and easily,
decide for themselves whether or not to accept the traditional (and costly) solution of using expensive carrier services.
XKL’s DarkStar™ line of fiber optic communications equipment enables data network engineers to operate and deploy metro area and
long haul fiber optics communication networks with compact, energy-efficient and highly robust devices that require no optical
engineering expertise to implement or operate. DarkStar’s router-like ease of configuration, value and reliability
make it the most efficient and cost-effective DWDM technology on the market.
XKL believes that many businesses are at the mercy of their ISP in terms of quality of service and cost.
Our guiding principle is to give enterprises greater reliability, more bandwidth and better latency; things
they can’t get with the service offerings of most commercial Internet providers. XKL endeavors to enlighten its
customers to the fact that the wholesale Internet is quite different, and with the right equipment, businesses
can tap into this raw power to establish their own private fiber networks easily and cost effectively to
generate massive bandwidth.

H2O Networks, part of the i3 Group, has pioneered the use of ready made ducts including the sewer
network to lay dark fibre optic cables. This technique is its patented FS System.
The H2O difference
Using the FS System and the Group’s other innovative technologies, H2O is able to build low
cost dark fibre networks with the minimum of disruption. The two main products that H2O
provides are point to point links and Fibrezones. Both products offer carrier grade
high capacity connectivity.
Fibrezone, launched earlier this year, is a dark fibre optic cable ring deployed around a
business sector, campus, town or city to which businesses and organisations can connect. It means that
customers within the catchment area of the Fibrezone, including local authorities, hospitals, schools and
local businesses, will only have to lay short fibre optic links to reach the fibre ring in order to benefit
from unlimited super fast connectivity. This model significantly lowers the cost of building bespoke fibre optic
networks for H2O’s customers.
