Project Purpose/Type:
The purpose of this project is to provide West and Northwest Georgia with critical middle mile broadband access by building a 185-mile fiber route that passes through eight counties between Chattanooga, Tennessee; Bremen, Georgia; and Atlanta, Georgia. The West and Northwest Georgia areas associated with the proposed route and service footprint currently have no known commercially available dark fiber service offerings. The proposed fiber network will significantly reduce future backhaul transport costs associated with bringing broadband from the main peering hubs and locations to the rural end users and provide over 140 interconnection splicing points for access.
