The city now offers leasing of our surplus "dark fibers" to our industrial and commercial customers. A "dark fiber" is one that does not provide any service, only a high speed highway for connectivity. Dark fiber can be used for building to building connectivity, last mile (referring to the portion of the telecommunications network chain that physically reaches from the carrier to the customer premises), or even to connect to our newest offering, off-site rack space in our data center.
We have installed an extremely reliable fiber network that we are excited to offer to our large businesses and industrial customers. For more information or questions regarding leasing any dark fibers in our area, please call and ask for the Energy Services Director or the Information Technology Director. Please see our Energy Services page for photos, contact information, and additional information about this project.
