Darkstrand, Inc.

Darkstrand was formed to commercialize the 15,000-mile next generation hyper-speed, supercomputing optical network known as the National LambdaRail (“NLR”). NLR was formed by a consortium of U.S. universities, scientific organizations and regional operating networks (RONs) that deployed this infrastructure to advance networking research and, in the process, enable next-generation applications in science, engineering and medicine. This network now fuels massive project work for NASA, the U.S. Department of Defense and the worldwide scientific community. NLR and Darkstrand Share a focused vision on commercial collaborations which transcend traditional telecommunication models to advanced unified communications integrated with business, information and scientific platforms, workflows, processes and analytics. This next-gen optical network - the only one of its kind on earth - is not theoretical; it is fully operational and in high demand by Fortune and Global 1000 companies in major industries.
