"The press release says that connecting outside the network can require dealing with multiple contracts and service models. The expansion addresses those obstacles through collaborations with network providers for last-mile connections. Lumen says that the collaborations with network providers have expanded its Internet On-Demand service to more than 10 million new locations. No details about the nature of the collaborations - such as how many they are or where they are focused - are included in the press release."
""Customers tell us their biggest challenge is reach - getting reliable, on-demand connectivity wherever their business operates," Lumen Technologies Chief Technology and Product Officer Dave Ward said in a press release. "For too long, businesses have been constrained by geography, but we're eliminating that barrier. By extending Lumen's Internet On-Demand service beyond our network, we're meeting businesses where they are and delivering one self-service solution that gives them the speed and flexibility they need to compete.""
Lumen expanded its Network-as-a-Service platform Internet On-Demand beyond its own network to simplify connectivity for customers linking to off-net entities. Connecting outside the network can require multiple contracts and different service models, and the expansion addresses those obstacles through collaborations with network providers for last-mile connections. The collaborations have extended Internet On-Demand to more than 10 million new locations, though no details about the number or geographic focus of the collaborations were provided. Internet On-Demand offers pay-as-you-go connectivity that scales within minutes, a self-service portal for bandwidth tiers, routing and security options, and hourly billing. Lumen is pursuing an intercity fiber buildout targeting 34 million new intercity fiber miles by 2028.
