Fullerton will be the first FiberCity&#x2122; with several cities already in line to be next.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are excited to deliver our first FiberCity&#x2122; in the USA, an investment that sets the standard for fiber optic infrastructure as a core utility. We believe that our business model can transform the telecoms market in the USA. Privately funded, open access networks will not only benefit residents and businesses, but also provide citywide platforms for Smart City applications including 5G and more,\u201d stated Ben Bawtree-Jobson, CEO of SiFi Networks.<\/p>\n<p>The network will provide a significant upgrade to internet speeds and accommodate the growing demand for data from next generation devices in households and businesses. It will also facilitate new Smart City initiatives in key government services such as traffic control, street lighting and emergency services. The network will also provide a platform for the future expansion of 4G and 5G cellular networks into the area.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are delighted to welcome SiFi Networks and its ISP partners Ting and GigabitNow to the city,\u201d stated Fullerton City Manager, Ken Domer.\u00a0 \u201cHaving a true fiber optic network passing every part of the city is an amazing opportunity for Smart City applications, bringing competition to the city\u2019s communication needs, and creating enhanced opportunities for economic development.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>SiFi funds, builds and operates the network whilst partnering with Internet Service Providers who bring their marketing and customer service expertise to deliver retail services (internet, TV and voice) to residents and businesses throughout the entire city without demographic segmentation.<\/p>\n<p>The Internet Service Providers in Fullerton will be <a href=\"http:\/\/www.FullertonFiberInternet.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">GigabitNow<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ting.com\/fullerton\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ting<\/a>, both exceptional providers with excellent customer service levels and competitive pricing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGigabitNow is pleased to be delivering true Gigabit Internet speeds at an affordable price to the residents and businesses of Fullerton,\u201d said Stephen Milton, CEO of GigabitNow.\u00a0 \u201cWorking with SiFi over the last several years to find ways to bring fast, reliable, Internet to cities across the United States has meshed perfectly with GigabitNow\u2019s overall goal of easy turnkey Internet solutions for communities of all sizes.\u00a0 We are eager to start providing awesome service to the community of Fullerton!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Elliot Noss, Ting CEO said \u201cFullerton will be great for our business, and Ting will support a thriving economy and quality of life there.
