The ICA is also able to tailor network uses of dedicated dark fiber and redundancy solutions to customers’ specifications.

Customers receive their services through a retail provider licensed by the ICA to operate on its network. The retail provider has extensive network design and customer service abilities to meet the high expectations set by business customers.

Wholesale service is delivered to the local point of presence facility via a SONET protected fiber optic ring, with redundant access into and out of Indianola.
