HARTFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
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
