US-based Fiber connectivity provider, Zayo Group announced that the company will provide fiber-to-the-tower (FTT) to 78 new towers in Indiana to serve a major wireless carrier customer. The towers will be located on 234 new network miles south and west of Indianapolis and connect a corridor to Louisville, Kentucky.
The deployment will also leverage 350 miles of fiber that is already in place to create a diverse ring in this growing region. With its ability to leverage in-place network, Zayo expects this contract to result in a strong return on the incremental $14M capital investment required to construct the additional 234 route miles of fiber network. With the latest expansion, Zayo said that it will have approximately 8,200 towers, including those under construction and those already connected to its fiber network.

Our extensible network will have the capacity to not only provide FTT infrastructure for one of the nation’s leading wireless carriers, but also the fiber capacity to support services to additional mobile operators and other customers in need of high-bandwidth solutions.
