Sponsored by Businesswire

International network developer, SiFi
Networks
, will deliver a state-of-the-art fiber optic network in
Fullerton passing every home and business in the city.

The Fullerton FiberCity™ network which is privately funded, built and
operated by SiFi Networks will be an open access network enabling a
choice of internet service providers whilst saving customers money on
what will be one of the most reliable FiberCity networks in the USA.

The primary internet service providers on the network will be GigabitNow
and Ting, both exceptional providers with excellent customer service
levels and competitive pricing.

“We are delighted to work alongside such great internet service
providers who bring fantastic levels of customer service and tailored
products and services giving customers much needed choice in Fullerton,”
said Ben Bawtree-Jobson, CEO of SiFi Networks.

Construction is expected to commence in June 2019 using a technique
called micro-trenching which causes minimal disruption. Customers are
able to pre-subscribe to service now with either Ting or GigabitNow.
Pre-subscribers will benefit from the best deals; and the first homes
will receive service before the end of the year.

“Ting is excited to meet the people and the businesses of Fullerton and
work with the community to bring the benefits of gigabit fiber Internet
backed by a truly human customer experience,” said Ting CEO, Elliot Noss.

The Fullerton FiberCity project will provide a significant upgrade to
internet speeds and accommodate a growing demand for data from next
generation devices in local households and businesses. It will also
facilitate new smart city initiatives in key government services, such
as traffic control, street lighting and emergency services.

“GigabitNow is excited to show the citizens of Fullerton what truly fast
and reliable Internet is like. We don’t use bandwidth caps or sell our
customer’s browsing data. Internet that is free from constraints and
privacy worries – is how we feel the internet is meant to be,” said
Stephen Milton, CEO of GigabitNow.

“We are delighted to welcome SiFi Networks and its ISP partners
GigabitNow and Ting to the city,” stated Fullerton City Manager, Ken
Domer. “Having a true fiber optic network passing every part of the city
is an amazing opportunity for smart city applications, bringing
competition to the city’s communication needs, and creating enhanced
opportunities for economic development.”
