Announced in February of this year, the company is building nearly 200 route miles of fibre that will reach 60% of the Bay Area’s fibre market.
The first phase of the project is currently in construction and will run through the Transbay Tube and provide additional fibre connectivity between San Francisco and Oakland, a route that is otherwise highly constrained. In addition, the Transbay Tube route will have extended fibre connectivity to multiple data centres in both locations.
“Expanding our fibre capabilities in the Bay Area will bring much needed infrastructure to the San Francisco market, providing more options and changing the way businesses connect all over the region. Mobilitie will have a fully diverse ring across the Bay Area in addition to multiple metro loops,” said Christos Karmis, CEO of Mobilitie.
“With this new massive fibre backbone, we are excited to expand not just our traditional services for enterprises and wireless networks, but also the next generation of connectivity and edge computing services.”
As part of a larger project to bring improved end user mobile connectivity throughout the entire Bay Area, Mobilitie’s fibre network will connect to more than 40 of the largest data centres in the region.
Once completed, the new network will serve the fast-growing Silicon Valley market with diverse fibre options, delivering more than 2,000 technology companies with high-speed and reliable connectivity.
At the same time, Mobilitie is also improving indoor wireless connectivity throughout the Bay Area by using the fibre network as the backbone for indoor 5G wireless networks at on or near net properties.
“Indoor wireless networks are core to our business. We operate hundreds of wireless networks across the country and at some of the largest and highest traffic locations in the world,” added Karmis.
“Our robust fibre network and backbone will provide the underlying connectivity to multiple wireless networks throughout the entire Bay Area.”
