Northeast Florida dark fiber provider Dedicated Fiber Systems, Inc. (DFS) has decided to be as plain as it can about what it does for a living. The company has decided to rename itself Dark Fiber Systems, Inc.

"Dark Fiber Systems best describes our flagship customer solution," explained owner and CEO Charles Nichols. "DFS provides dark fiber, or private fiber-optic strands for customer network use. This service provides virtually unlimited capacity in the customer network while insuring the most secure transmission facility in the industry.

"As the first provider of dark fiber service in Northeast Florida, starting in 1997, DFS has remained 'carrier neutral' and will lease fiber strands to any carrier, enterprise, or data center," Nichols asserted.

The company says it currently provides dark fiber network services to many of the Tier 1 and Tier 2 carriers, enterprises, and data centers in Northeast Florida.
