DASAN Zhone Solutions and American Fiber Network recently announced a partnership to bring 10 gig-ready broadband services to rural central Illinois.
After breaking ground on their fiber overbuild in early 2019, American Fiber was rapidly able to begin offering Teutopolis residents voice, video, and data services at speeds up to 1 Gbps just a few months later. Today, hundreds of residential and business customers have subscribed to hyper-broadband services across this fiber optic infrastructure, with over 90 percent taking gigabit services thereby making Teutopolis one of the nation’s most connected communities.
DZS and its reseller Baltic Networks have played a key role in enabling this success from the start, providing the terabit-capacity MXK-F platform and a broad portfolio of Wi-Fi capable zNID residential gateways that have enabled this world-class network to deliver highly differentiated services ten times faster than competitors.

The great news is that we are just getting started, as we architected this network to easily be able to evolve to 10 gig services, and have invested in equipment that is ready for the future.
Mitch Fleming, SVP of Americas Sales and Global Business Development, DZS
American Fiber is a great example of how a company with a vision and the right partners can deploy a gigabit infrastructure and literally transform a community in a very short period of time.
