Ubiquity Launches More Open Access Networks, Claims First Scaled Fiber Deployment

Ubiquity has launched open access networks in Carlsbad (CA) and Mesa (AZ). The company said the Mesa deployment is the nation’s first scaled fiber deployment, in which service provider tenants will use both lit and dark fiber to service business and residential customers. At the same time, the company announced new fiber “footprints” in Omaha (NE) and Council Bluffs (IA). The four new networks will serve hundreds of thousands of addresses in those four cities. According to the company, service provider tenants served by the Mesa project will use a fully managed network connection to customer addresses. The dark fiber will allow tenants to serve end users with their own equipment.
