Wireless Carrier Selects Zayo for Colorado FTT Expansion

BOULDER, Colo.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–

A major wireless carrier has selected Zayo for a dark fiber solution to densify its network in Colorado Springs and expand capacity along the Front Range. The solution will leverage Zayo’s existing network between the Denver Metro area and Colorado Springs and will add 124 new route miles in Colorado Springs for the dark fiber-to-the-tower (FTT) solution. The total value of the 20-year contract exceeds $16 million.

Zayo’s solution will enable the carrier to implement a centralized radio access network (C-RAN) architecture for efficient network densification. Long haul dark fiber will provide diverse connectivity between Colorado Springs and the Denver metro area. As demand for mobile bandwidth continues to increase, especially in high-growth areas like the Colorado Front Range, wireless carriers must continue to invest in infrastructure to improve capacity and quality.

Zayo expects to fully leverage the buildout for follow-on tenants in Colorado Springs, a growing market with a diverse base of business. The region is home to five military bases, major aerospace and defense companies, technology and cybersecurity companies, healthcare facilities and professional services.

“Our wireless customers continue to invest in high-capacity communications infrastructure to meet the accelerating demand for mobile bandwidth,” said Kay Henze, senior vice president, Dark Fiber, Rocky Mountain Region. “This network expansion will provide a unique network footprint capable of serving the bandwidth needs of a variety of verticals in Colorado Springs, one of the state’s largest and fastest growing markets.”
