District of Columbia city government.
The District, as it is referred to locally, will use more than 20 fibers from Level 3 to create a high-speed data network linking government buildings at various locations across the city, officials said.
"This agreement highlights the flexibility of our metropolitan networks," said Glenn Russo, Level 3's senior vice president of global infrastructure services. "If a customer requires a large number of fibers, we can meet their needs quickly and efficiently. We look forward to working with the District as it continues to enhance government communications systems on behalf of residents and taxpayers."
Level 3 owns and operates a total of 36 metropolitan networks -- 27 across the United States and nine in Europe. The metro networks connect the company's data centers to key data traffic aggregation points in each city, such as central offices, telecom hotels and data centers operated by other carriers. They are also linked to Level 3's long-haul network.
