Fiber Network
MBC’s 2,500-mile open-access middle mile fiber-optic network delivers wholesale transport, dark fiber, and colocation services to streamline the time and cost for fiber providers to serve customers in rural Virginia.
MBC owns and operates 2,500 miles of open-access fiber optic network in 41 cities and counties in Southern Virginia. MBC owns the fiber sheath, the colocation facilities, and the electronics. MBC uses Cisco NCS for Layer 2 Ethernet Transport Network utilizing a 400Gb/s backbone throughout the network. Infinera FLEX-ILS is our open optical line system featuring C+L-band support that is used for DWDM long haul transport across the MBC network, which at current configuration transports 1.2 Terabits per second and has capabilities to grow to 9.6 Terabits per second of transport capacity on a single pair of fiber. Technology deployed on the FLEX-ILS system provides MBC a great deal of flexibility to grow high speed connections to Northern Virginia, Richmond, the Subsea Cable systems in Virginia Beach, and throughout the Southern Virginia region.
MBC has fiber in place for diverse connections from the Southern Virginia regional network to Northern Virginia and key markets in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States
