Annual global IP traffic is estimated to quickly reach a zettabyte, if it hasn’t surpassed it already. Are you prepared? With DCN’s Carrier Ethernet and Private Line services, you can reliably deliver video, mobile, and cloud services to customers over a single, converged IP infrastructure.
DCN operates a 100% fiber optic communications network linking all regions of North Dakota, including all major population centers. Owned by independent broadband service providers who have served customers since the early 1950s, DCN’s backbone is built on over 1,700 miles of fiber optic infrastructure.
Our core network consists of dark fiber equipped with a Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) platform.
