SiFi's $35 million FiberCity Project to build open-access network in California

SiFi Networks will go live with the first neighborhood in its Placentia FiberCity Project where homes and businesses will gain access to the company’s all-fiber open access network. The project, which will cost around $35 million, is privately funded by SiFi Networks and will eventually provide access to some 20,000 locations in Placentia, California. The project will be constructed with no cost to taxpayers, as is the case with all of SiFi Networks’ fiber builds in the US. Marcus Bowman, SiFi Networks’ community relations manager, said the company is now in the installation phase of the project and is “ramping up crews to meet demand.” SiFi Networks is known for its privately funded open-access fiber networks across the US, all of which fall under its FiberCity Project umbrella. In June 2023 the company announced its $200 million Rockford FiberCity project in Illinois. The company's open access networks offer speeds up to 10 Gbps.
