(PRWEB) March 25, 2006 -- FibreSpan, one of the country’s leading dark fibre solution providers, announced that it has been awarded a contract with Stevenage Borough Council to provide bespoke dark fibre connectivity. The company was selected following a rigorous tendering process against other dark fibre providers, as well as traditional incumbents.

Linking the head office in the town centre with two new major sites on a MAN star configuration, the Council will use the network to carry data, voice, IP and other applications, including CCTV systems. With a total deployment of 3Km of network, FibreSpan will supply multiple fibres to each location to provide a solution that will meet bandwidth requirements for the distant future.
