BOULDER, Colo. -- (Business Wire)
The Office of Education for a northern California county has selected
Zayo Group Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: ZAYO) for a dark fiber network that
will connect 28 school districts. The 183-mile network includes 173
miles of network in place or already under construction and 10 miles of
new build, which will be leveraged for follow-on tenants. The solution
also leverages a previously
announced network expansion project in the Bay Area.
More than 250,000 students and educators will leverage the higher
bandwidth for online resources, streaming media and online resources and
apps integral to today’s K-12 curriculum.
The district is funding the upgrade through E-Rate, a federal program
that subsidizes internet infrastructure so schools and libraries can
provide high-speed internet. This is the first year that dark fiber has
been included in the program. The solution will provide the county with
full network control and the ability to add capacity as needed.
“Dark fiber is a highly scalable, cost-effective solution that provides
the county with dedicated, high-capacity infrastructure,” said Dave
Jones, executive vice president of Dark Fiber Solutions at Zayo. “They
appreciate the flexibility of a solution they can manage themselves to
meet the dynamic, long-terms needs of the county.”
Zayo has implemented E-rate projects in Georgia, California, Colorado,
Arizona, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Texas,
Utah and Washington. For more information on Zayo’s E-Rate certified
