Fiber Services

Our short-term dark fiber leases range from 3, 5 and 10 years, offering flexibility for businesses looking to expand temporarily or test new markets before committing to long-term infrastructure.

Secure long-term access to our fiber network with an IRU agreement. This exclusive IRU provides dedicated fiber usage for a set period, usually 20 years—ideal for businesses with a strategic, long-term network vision and long-haul dark fiber needs.

Ensure uninterrupted connectivity with our redundant fiber routes. These multiple data paths safeguard your network by automatically rerouting traffic in case of failure, reducing downtime and enhancing performance.

Benefits include:

  • Backup protection against outages
  • Reduced congestion through traffic distribution
  • Lower risk of hardware failure and cyber threats

From planning to permitting, we handle every aspect of fiber optic network construction. Our team ensures:

  • Proactive monitoring during the design and construction
  • Accurate documentation
