Frontier Communications (NASDAQ:FTR) announced an additional
investment in Hartford, Connecticut that will increase speeds and
deploy additional fiber technology to businesses and homes in the
north end of the city. Fiber-optic technology is the fastest and
most reliable network to deliver vital broadband services.
“This announcement highlights our commitment to our customers,
communities and shareholders to deliver game- changing technology.
Gigabyte Passive Optical Network (GPON) technology is Frontier’s
first commercial deployment in Connecticut. Our fiber network will
enable businesses to expand their capabilities and competitiveness
and enrich the lives of our residential customers. This is an
exciting beginning for innovation in the Hartford region,” said
Debra Zampano, Frontier’s Area General Manager for the region.
This expansion of fiber technology is part of Frontier’s
aggressive plan to deploy the fastest available speeds to
neighborhoods throughout the state; the company already provides
the ultra-high speed technology in West Hartford, North Haven, New
Haven and Stamford.
“Our latest effort is a continuation of Frontier’s fiber
initiative and part of our commitment to network investments that
provide our Connecticut customers with the fastest Internet speeds
available, one neighborhood at a time,” said Paul Quick, Frontier
Senior Vice President and General Manager for Connecticut.
“Frontier’s investment in the north end of Hartford is another
example of how broadband providers are driving the innovations in
speed and access that are critical to the success of Connecticut’s
economy. Connecticut is fortunate to be able to offer
nationally-ranked broadband service, through multiple private
sector providers, to the state’s employers and residents,” said Oz
Griebel, President and CEO of the MetroHartford
Alliance.
