Sertex Public-Private Model Deploys Gigabit Fiber Networks in the Northeast Posted on Share
Press Release
Plainfield, CT – December 15, 2020… Tired of waiting for telecommunications giants to deliver promised high-speed internet services, a growing number of rural towns in the Northeast are taking back control by building publicly-owned last-mile fiber broadband networks in their communities. Sertex Broadband Solutions, the leading regional expert in fiber optic infrastructure deployment, has made this possible with their new public-private municipal broadband model.
The challenge in bringing reliable broadband to rural areas is the build-out costs. When small populations are spread across large geographic areas, hundreds of miles of network infrastructure must be built, often through remote and rugged terrain. To ensure affordability, a public-private partnership between local governments and Sertex leverages the municipality’s ability to finance capital projects.
