# PRIVATE WAVE - MOFN
## WHAT IS COLT PRIVATE WAVE?
### WHEN STANDARD NETWORKS AREN’T ENOUGH
Colt Private Wave (MOFN) is a **fully managed, customer-dedicated optical network** built on fibre infrastructure. Unlike traditional connectivity services that rely on shared capacity, this solution provides an **exclusive, end‑to‑end optical network** tailored to a single customer
This means the customer benefits from **complete control, predictable performance, and strong data security**, while Colt manages the design, deployment, and operations of the network
#### TRUE DEDICATED OPTICAL INFRASTRUCTURE
Private Wave (MOFN) gives customers an exclusive optical network built on fully dedicated fibre and WDM equipment — never shared with other users. This delivers uncontended capacity, predictable performance, enhanced security, and complete design control, enabling architectures and service combinations that shared wavelength or packet‑based services simply cannot support.
#### UNMATCHED PERFORMANCE & SCALABILITY
Private Wave (MOFN) delivers deterministic, low latency optical performance with service rates ranging from 1Gbps to 400Gbps and beyond on a single interface. Total capacity can be scaled up to a 3-digit Tbps range on a single infrastructure, if required.\
Customers can consolidate multiple services and protocols while expanding capacity seamlessly as demand grows — without re architecting the network.
#### SOVEREIGN CONTROL & CUSTOM DESIGN
MOFN gives customers full control over network design, topology, vendors, and upgrade paths. This enables sovereign networking architectures tailored to regulatory, security, and business requirements — going far beyond the constraints of standardised packet or off‑the‑shelf wavelength services.
#### BUILT FOR MISSION-CRITICAL WORKLOADS
Private Wave (MOFN) is engineered for the most demanding use cases, including data centre interconnection, disaster recovery, AI, and high‑performance computing. With dedicated infrastructure, advanced resilience options, and optional encryption, customers achieve maximum availability, data protection, and business continuity.
