FIBER TRANSPORT FOR WHEN EVERY MILLISECOND MATTERS

Built by a Power Company. Designed for Critical Networks.

At their core, wavelengths may all seem the same. But it’s the provider and the path that make all the difference. Get diverse routes and more responsive service from a partner who can actually deliver waves with the options, creativity, and latency your mission-critical infrastructure demands. 

DQE’s network wasn’t retrofitted from residential broadband. It was purpose-built by a utility company to support infrastructure that literally kept the lights on. That means near-millisecond latency, physical route diversity, and regional reach that others simply can’t match.
