The fiber was designed to provide a robust, dedicated and secure communications infrastructure with limitless communications speed. MPU offers long and short term leases of this "dark fiber" to connect any two or more customer facilities within the City of Manitowoc. Connections to facilities outside of the city limits are provided through MPU's partnership with third party vendors. Customers who own and operate their own communications equipment can use dark fiber as a dedicated and secure connection between their equipment. These fiber facilities have been successfully used by several businesses, Manitowoc County, the Manitowoc Public School District, the City of Manitowoc, and MPU. Fiber Optics – What is it?
