More Fiber “to the Tower” From Zayo
Zayo Bandwidth will expand its fiber-to-tower coverage for mobile and other carriers by adding Ethernet and TDM services to wireless tower sites throughout central and Wilkes Barre, Penn. The expansion increases the number of FTT customer locations served by Zayo Bandwidth to over 1,700, with another 800 customer locations pending, the company says.
Wireless carriers are often hamstrung by the lack of backhaul fiber solutions in less populated regions of the country, yet the industry is under increasing pressure to add high capacity coverage for wireless users in remote areas.
Zayo Bandwidth’s network expansion in Pennsylvania, as well as recent deployments in other tertiary markets such as Spokane, Wash. and Couer D’Alene, Idaho, give wireless carriers fiber route diversity.
