Dark fiber is the simplest, most reliable network available
No shared telecom service between providers

Dark fiber services offer a predictable, fixed cost that does not change from year to year
No matter how much speed you add, your cost stays the same
Predictability

As your district’s needs grow, the network evolves with you.
Your costs remain fixed, and with small equipment changes, you can increase the speed of your network any time.
Scalability
