We have a fiber optic cable network that totals approximately 125 miles that is utilized for internal voice and data communications between various sites. There are excess fiber strands available which Colorado Springs Utilities leases on a wholesale open access basis to both the private and public sector, subject to state limitations. Individual fibers are available exclusively as dark fibers, meaning that the fibers are available without any light transmitters, receivers, or associated electronics attached to them. You are free to attach the voice, data, or video equipment of your choice to light the fibers and transmit information between locations that you designate.
In addition to the excess fiber strands, we have excess telecommunications conduit in selected geographic areas of our service territory. The excess conduit is available to lease for terms of five, 10 and 20 years subject to the limitations of state statutes.
If you would like further information about our dark fiber and conduit leasing, please contact us.
