AT&T Gets Set to Cohabit in Frontier Central Offices

AT&T and Frontier have signed a deal that will enable AT&T to deploy wireless infrastructure in Frontier's central offices. The deal also calls for AT&T to purchase fiber connectivity to connect with cell towers that are in Frontier’s network. An AT&T spokesperson said, “We’ll strategically begin to centralize the cell site baseband units (controllers) where it makes sense to do so for operational efficiencies.” Apparently, the Frontier central offices will be available for other network operators to use as well, as Frontier notes that AT&T is the “first tenant to rent space in Frontier’s hyper-local offices.”
