Zayo Dallas to Atlanta Middle Mile

Project Purpose/Type:

The purpose is to create new access points along the applicants 822-mile, five-state, underground existing middle mile fiber route, providing a highly resilient alternative to the aerial fiber used currently, which is subject to outages, to provide better service to unserved and underserved areas.
