Zayo Invests in Network Infrastructure Expansion in
Nashville Tennessee
Zayo announced today that it will be expanding its fiber footprint in Nashville, TN.
Boulder, Nov 15, 2011 -- LOUISVILLE, Colo. – November 15, 2011 – Zayo
announced today that it will be expanding its fiber footprint in Nashville, TN. As a
part of this build, Zayo will nearly double the route mileage for the greater Nashville
area from 40 to 78 route miles. These newly constructed route miles will allow Zayo
to serve the markets of Franklin, Brentwood and Oak Hill with dark fiber, Gigabit
Ethernet and wavelength services.
The newly covered regions will complement Zayo's existing fiber in the Nashville
central business district and Antioch, TN. The network already includes 14 on-net
buildings, in addition to the 40 existing route miles. Zayo continues to operate a
carrier neutral colocation facility that provides access to multiple major bandwidth
providers located at Cummins Station-209 10th Ave South. Zayo's Nashville network
adds to the reach of the bandwidth infrastructure services throughout Zayo's fiber
networks. Construction of this high bandwidth fiber infrastructure is underway and
completion is expected in December 2011.
"Investing in the Nashville network serves our customers' high-speed bandwidth
needs and allows Zayo to expand our coverage areas," explains Matt Erickson,
President of Zayo Fiber Solutions. "This expanded dark fiber network helps
healthcare, technology, and other enterprises stay in front of the explosive growth of
Internet and data usage."
