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.
Transmit extraordinary amounts of mission-critical information in just seconds utilizing the highest committed bandwidth speeds. Our dark fiber service offers your business unrestricted bandwidth opportunity, while our Ethernet and Internet services provide symmetrical connectivity so uploads and downloads are identical to accommodate your business needs. DQE’s bandwidth options range from 10 Mbps to 100 Gbps.
DQE’s local, in-house Network Operations Center (NOC) continuously monitors our backbone network and is available to provide technical support at any time. Should an issue arise, our network is supported by local service restoration crews.
