City of Fort Worth Selects Zayo to Upgrade Infrastructure
Dark fiber network to span 411 miles, support mission-critical services.
Zayo Group Holdings, Inc. was awarded a $15.6 million, 12-year contract by the city of Fort Worth to provide a dark fiber solution to upgrade its municipal network. The sale underscores a trend toward municipalities, schools and other government entities upgrading outdated networks to meet the growing demand for high-performance connectivity.
“Increasingly, cities and municipal governments are finding that their infrastructure won’t support their growing need for fast, high-performance bandwidth for mission-critical services, including emergency operations,” said Randy Dunbar, senior vice president metro dark fiber at Zayo. “Rather than building their own networks, which are complex and expensive, they’re leveraging Zayo’s infrastructure.”
