Fiber Leasing
Fiber Networks support everything North Carolina depends on. Ours stretches 4,400 miles across every corner of the state.
Flexible Fiber Options for Every Need
MCNC built NCREN, the fiber backbone connecting all 100 counties — and we own and manage every mile of it. Whether you need dark fiber, lit services, or a connection to our backbone, we’ll find the right fit for your needs.
We also offer dark fiber IRU and lease options to commercial providers like broadband companies, wireless carriers, and cable operators, because better connectivity for North Carolina means getting fiber where it’s needed most.
