The Kinetic $8 million investment in high-speed fiber infrastructure in Cabarrus and Stanly counties marks a milestone in expanding broadband access in North Carolina.
The successful deployment of the Ciena WL6e technology promises advantages for Windstream Wholesale customers including enhanced connectivity.
Under this partnership, Bullitt County committed $2 million, while Kinetic invested $4.8 million of private capital and covered any associated cost overruns.
The use of the Ciena RLS provides the ability for Windstream Wholesale to gain the greatest operational efficiencies and cost effectiveness along this route.
Kinetic says that the small business platform will provide 99.9% reliability and Wi-Fi on separate networks for various groups.
Kinetic customers throughout the company’s 18-state coverage area have been eligible to receive free speed upgrades.
