Dark Fiber Lease

Dark fiber leases provide customers with all the services of the Dark Fiber IRU, except on a shorter-term basis.  Typically, customers may opt to sign leases for 3 or 5 years, and sometimes longer.  O&M services are included in the lease fees.  Upfront fees are typically nominal unless the customer wishes PBI to build interconnections or even Custom Network Solutions (CNS) to ‘reach’ the existing fiber networks.
