Like a great racecar team - practice, testing and tweaking even the smallest details makes the biggest difference in continuous efforts to improve. LightRiver Labs was designed and established to be a multi-vendor, multi-technology proving ground to take the guessing out of the equation; where trial-and-error doesn't impact a customer's live mission-critical network.

Estabilished over a dozen years ago, LightRiver Labs is a multiple-million dollar, state-of-the-art facility where all the latest next generation equipment, solutions and services are put through the rigors of mission-critical simulation. Our facility gives customers a safe environment to test and integrate IP/MPLS, Carrier-Ethernet, all flavors of WDM, Packet Optical, Microwave, Wireless Backhaul, Multi-Service SONET and more... – these technologies pass through LightRiver Labs before they reach your network.
At LightRiver, we sweat the details and perform a wide range of functions to ensure that your mission-critical solutions are service-ready and there are no surprises when they're deployed.
