Portfolio
Segra Service Portfolio
Metro Ethernet (EPL/EHUB/ELAN), DIA, Wavelengths, Dark Fiber, Cloud Connect, FiberVoice, SD-WAN, and custom fiber builds — all on 100% owned infrastructure, every circuit custom-engineered.
Metro Ethernet — EPL · EHUB · ELAN (10 Mbps to 10 Gbps)
Segra Metro Ethernet delivers Layer 2 WAN connectivity over dedicated owned fiber — in three topologies: EPL (Ethernet Private Line) for point-to-point dedicated circuits; EHUB for hub-and-spoke branch-to-headquarters connectivity; and ELAN for full multipoint-to-multipoint any-to-any inter-site communication. All topologies scale from 10 Mbps to 10 Gbps, run on Segra's owned fiber with access ring protection, and include carrier-grade CPE on customer premises. Every circuit is custom-engineered for the customer's specific locations and routing requirements — not provisioned from a standardized template.
Dedicated Internet Access (10 Mbps to 100 Gbps+ · SLA-Backed)
Segra DIA delivers symmetric, uncontended bandwidth from 10 Mbps to 100 Gbps+ over Segra's owned fiber-optic infrastructure — with SLA-backed uptime, latency, and throughput guarantees. Multiple Tier 1 ISP upstream peering relationships ensure resilient internet routing without single-upstream dependency. Access ring protection at the local loop level provides physical redundancy. Appropriate for businesses requiring guaranteed upload and download performance for cloud applications, VoIP, real-time data, and workloads where asymmetric or contended broadband performance is operationally unacceptable.
Scalable Wavelengths (10 Gbps to 100 Gbps · Layer 1 · Low Latency)
Segra Wavelength Services provide dedicated Layer 1 optical transport at 10 Gbps to 100 Gbps — each wavelength a dedicated optical channel with no shared contention, sub-millisecond latency, and no protocol overhead. Appropriate for data center interconnect at high throughput, large-volume disaster recovery replication, financial market data distribution, and any application where IP-layer services introduce unacceptable latency or capacity variability. Delivered over Segra's owned metro fiber — with route diversity options for redundant wavelength paths across geographically separate fiber runs.
Dark Fiber
Segra Dark Fiber provides unlit optical fiber capacity on Segra's owned metro route network — leased to enterprises, carriers, data center operators, and government agencies that operate their own optical equipment on Segra's physical infrastructure. Appropriate for organizations with internal optical expertise that prefer direct control over wavelength multiplexing and protocol rather than purchasing a managed lit service. Segra's 10,000+ route mile metro footprint provides broad availability across its core markets — with unique routes that are not collocated with the national carrier infrastructure in the same markets.
Cloud Connect (Private Layer 2 — AWS · Azure · Google · Oracle · IBM · Salesforce)
Segra Cloud Connect provides private Layer 2 dedicated connectivity from customer locations directly to AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, Oracle Cloud, IBM Cloud, and Salesforce — bypassing the public internet for cloud-bound workloads. Committed bandwidth, predictable latency, and physical network isolation that internet-based cloud connectivity cannot guarantee. For healthcare and financial services organizations with compliance requirements restricting public internet transport for regulated workloads, Cloud Connect satisfies private connectivity mandates while leveraging existing Segra fiber infrastructure.
FiberVoice — Analog · PRI/TDM · SIP Trunking · Hosted Voice / UCaaS · Toll-Free
Segra FiberVoice is a full-stack voice portfolio delivered over Segra's owned fiber — including Analog lines (for fax, alarm, elevator, POTS replacement), PRI/TDM circuits (for legacy PBX systems requiring digital ISDN connectivity), SIP Trunks (standards-based PSTN connectivity for IP PBX and UCaaS platforms), and Hosted Voice/UCaaS (cloud-hosted business phone eliminating on-premise PBX hardware). Toll-Free and Long Distance services complete the portfolio. All FiberVoice services run on Segra's owned fiber infrastructure — not resold over a third-party carrier network — providing single-vendor accountability for both connectivity and voice.
SD-WAN
Segra SD-WAN provides software-defined WAN capability — intelligent traffic steering across multiple WAN paths (Segra fiber, broadband, LTE), application-aware routing and prioritization, centralized policy management, and automated failover. Available as a managed service alongside Segra's DIA and Metro Ethernet products — enabling enterprises to add SD-WAN intelligence to their Segra connectivity without engaging a separate SD-WAN vendor. Appropriate for multi-location businesses within Segra's footprint requiring more sophisticated WAN management than static routing over dedicated circuits.
WAN & Custom Builds
Segra WAN services provide managed wide-area network connectivity for multi-location enterprises — combining Metro Ethernet, DIA, and SD-WAN into a unified managed WAN architecture. Custom Builds & Solutions is Segra's bespoke engineering capability — designing and constructing custom fiber infrastructure for locations not yet on Segra's network, large-scale campus builds, and specialized connectivity requirements. Backed by Segra's 25+ year track record on large-scale fiber construction projects and a team of locally based network engineers familiar with Segra's route infrastructure in each market.

Why Segra
Key Strengths
What distinguishes Segra from both national carriers and other regional providers — and why its customer retention rate is the most honest measure of its operational quality.
Segra's 98% customer retention rate means 98 out of 100 customers renew at contract expiration — an exceptionally high figure in the enterprise fiber market where churn is routinely driven by price competition and support failures. This rate reflects three durable advantages: custom circuit engineering for each customer (creating technical relationships not easily replicated by commodity providers), locally based service teams (not centralized call centers), and owned infrastructure that enables Segra to resolve issues without escalating to wholesale providers. For buyers evaluating carriers, retention rate is a more reliable quality indicator than marketing SLA language.
Every Segra circuit runs on Segra-owned fiber-optic infrastructure — not leased from a CLEC, not provisioned over a wholesale network, not resold from a national carrier with leased last-mile. Owned infrastructure means Segra dispatches its own technicians to its own fiber when issues arise — eliminating the escalation delay that occurs when a carrier must coordinate with a third-party network owner for repairs. It also means Segra has direct control over network upgrades, route diversity, and SLA delivery rather than being constrained by a wholesale provider's timelines and priorities.
Every Segra circuit is custom-designed for the specific customer — not provisioned from a standardized template. Segra's engineers analyze each customer's location pair, available fiber routes, redundancy requirements, and latency constraints to design the optimal circuit topology. Access ring protection provides automatic failover to an alternate fiber path in the event of a cut on the primary route. Carrier-grade equipment is placed on customer premises — not a white-box CPE shipped with generic configuration. For enterprises with specific routing, latency, or redundancy requirements, Segra's custom design approach delivers outcomes that template-provisioned carriers cannot match.
Segra has operated continuously since 1998 — outlasting dozens of CLEC competitors who entered and exited the regional fiber market over the same period. 25+ years of operation in its specific metro markets means Segra's engineers know the local infrastructure, the conduit systems, the permitting processes, and the routing options in a way that a national carrier's regional office cannot replicate. 300+ cities across 21 states, government certifications enabling federal and SLED procurement, and a proven track record on large-scale fiber construction projects make Segra the dominant regional provider in its markets.
