National LambdaRail's (NLR) coast-to-coast, advanced optical network infrastructure offers a range of services and applications, capable of meeting the specific needs of the most demanding network and scientific research projects. Because NLR owns the underlying fiber optic cable and optical circuits, as well as other networking equipment, it can cost-effectively implement multiple, diverse experimental and production networks on its nationwide optical fiber footprint with unprecedented flexibility and responsiveness.
