Metromedia Fiber Network Inc. will lease dark fiber in major US metro markets to Telseon. Telseon is a provider of high-speed, highly secure metro area IP services. The agreement, valued at more than $32 million, will enable Telseon to provide fast, IP for service providers and their enterprise customers in New York, New Jersey, Chicago, Washington DC, Seattle, San Francisco and San Jose, California.

Using MFN’s infrastructure, Telseon will leverage gigabit ethernet technology to deliver services that will relieve congestion within metro area networks. This deal is part of Telseon’s drive to expand its managed gigabit services to 20 national metro markets by the end of the year and MFN’s commitment to offer Internet infrastructure providers a carrier-neutral optical Internet backbone. <p”Our agreement with MFN will expand our fiber footprint significantly within key metropolitan areas throughout the United States,” says Telseon CEO John Kane. “We’ll now have the ability to continue to get our customers up and running.”
