It All Started with “Pittsburgh at the Speed of Light”

DQE Communications, headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, is a fiber-optic Internet and data network access provider for businesses and carriers in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Ohio. DQE was established in 1997 as a dark fiber infrastructure company in the Pittsburgh metropolitan area. Over the years, DQE has grown in both our fiber footprint and our product offerings to become one of the leading regional providers of secure, reliable, data network services. With an ongoing commitment to structured, well-planned growth, DQE is continuously expanding the fiber optic network to serve even more customers.

Work with DQE and you get a partner who listens, understands what you actually need, and delivers a solution built for your business, not ours.

24/7/365 Network Support

Our Network Operations Center runs 24/7/365 with local engineers monitoring the network. When issues arise, local crews respond, not contractors three states away.

Robust Framework

The key to a great network is the underlying network infrastructure. DQE is 100% fiber optic based, which means it can support unprecedented amounts of data. Our MPLS network’s dual-core, ring architecture offers superior redundancy, and in the event of a fiber cut, the network automatically detects and redirects to maintain continuous service.
