Zayo, LLC
The purpose is to create new access points along the applicants 822-mile, five-state, underground existing middle mile fiber route, providing a highly resilient alternative to the aerial fiber used currently, which is subject to outages, to provide better service to unserved and underserved areas. The applicant identified 209 community anchor institutions that are located within 1 mile of the fiber route that could have access to the network. A portion of the funding will allow the project partner to construct 180-foot towers that will provide non-discriminatory access to up to four wireless ISPs to provide mobile and fixed broadband service within a 5-mile radius of each tower.
