Broadband Solutions for Any Mile of Your Network

From backbone to last mile, Wesco delivers end-to-end products, services, and supply chain solutions to help you plan, deploy and maintain resilient, high-capacity broadband networks.

Three Essential Network Segments

Broadband performance depends on a layered network where each segment plays a distinct, interdependent role. While many technologies repeat across the network, the end-to-end pathway is typically grouped into three essential sections: backbone/long haul, middle mile, and last mile. Planning and deploying across all three is easier with an experienced partner within reach.

From the internet backbone to last mile, each network segment is essential to ensuring consistent performance.

Backbone / Long Haul

Long haul communications connect cities and countries globally, forming the backbone of the internet. It relies on diverse technologies such as fiber cabling, satellite, microwave, wireless, high-capacity routing, and multiplexing equipment to deliver fast and reliable data transfer.

Middle Mile

The middle mile links central offices or data centers to last mile service providers, transporting large quantities of data between regional hubs. It commonly includes high-capacity fiber, microwave links, wired/wireless networks, and robust electronics.

Last Mile

Last mile infrastructure connects service providers to neighborhoods, homes, businesses and devices. Technologies can include fiber, 5G, copper, fixed wireless, and satellite.
