Dark Fiber
Much more than a traditional Internet Service Provider (ISP), CEN offers our member organizations the ability to build and extend their Metro Area Network (MAN) or Wide Area Network(WAN) with dark fiber. Through CEN’s state contracts with dark fiber providers, members can receive that same pricing without markup. This can provide our members with significant savings and allow them to consolidate their service providers for more efficient management.
Member Benefits:
- Dark Fiber services available to existing CEN members
- Individual case basis pricing based on CT State contracts, without markup
- Member management of dark fiber utilization and services
- Ideal for extending CEN DIA across member Metro Area Networks (MAN) and Wide Area Networks (WAN)
- Reduce number of member fiber providers for simplified management and billing
