What FiberRing does
FiberRing is a privately held Amsterdam-based metro fiber network operator and Carrier's Carrier, founded in 2003 and wholly owned by the Ocom Group under the legal entity LeaseWeb Network B.V. The company provides dedicated, high-bandwidth connectivity services ranging from 10 Mbps to 100 Gbps between 18 major data centers across the Amsterdam metropolitan area, serving Internet/cloud/hosting service providers, telecom carriers, and enterprise customers. Its portfolio spans five core subscription services — Dark Fiber, Wavelength, Metro Ethernet, Direct Internet Access, and IP Transit — delivered over a multi-vendor, diverse-route fiber architecture with multi-homed Tier 1 backbone connectivity and direct AMS-IX peering.
The company's technology stack centers on physical fiber infrastructure augmented by next-generation Arista routing platforms and a 24/7 Amsterdam-based Network Operations Center. Customers include major hosting providers (Leaseweb, maincubes), advertising technology firms (Taboola, RTB House), and telecom operators (Teraswitch, Ezorg), with over 150 active customers served by 11-50 employees. FiberRing's go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales with account manager engagement, a self-service customer portal, and event sponsorships in the Dutch telecom ecosystem (AMS-IX, ISPConnect).
Revenue is generated primarily through monthly recurring subscriptions on quote-based pricing with flexible contracting terms. A 33% promotional discount was offered in late 2023 across three service lines as part of the company's 20th anniversary. The business is debt-free due to Ocom Group financing, enabling competitive pricing without capital recoupment pressure. Geographic operations are concentrated exclusively in the Amsterdam metro area, with global reach limited to peering and transit relationships rather than owned infrastructure.
