Five bits of network news, three from the US and two from across the pond.
Great Plains Communications has continued its expansion eastward into Kentucky. Their GPC Fiber division has partnered with Aphorio Carter to extend their network reach into the latter’s new data center in Simpsonville, to the east of Louisville. Aphorio Carter’s facility offers some 10,000 square feet of space, with expansion to 17MW of power and 25,000 square feet of space in a year’s time.
Ripple Broadband and BroadbandOne are teaming up down in northwestern Florida. The collaboration uses BroadbandOne’s spectrum and wireless infrastructure to extend Ripple Broadband’s coverage across the city of Pensacola. They were already in nearby Navarre and Gulf Breeze as well as in Midway over near Tallahassee. In Pensacola they will be targeting businesses, the hospitality sector, and MDUs.
Gigapower has added another ISP to its infrastructure in Mesa, Arizona. Flume will be the company’s second ISP partner in the Phoenix metro area, where they have been building out a wholesale, open access platform over the past couple of years. Flume will offer both fiber internet and managed WiFi within apartment complexes and condominiums in Mesa, a suburb to the east of downtown Phoenix.
In the UK, CityFibre has officially launched in Hull and the surrounding county of East Riding. They are now offering up to 5Gbps to some 80K homes and businesses in the region, which sits along the north side of the mouth of the River Hull. The deal follows CityFibre’s acquisition of Connexin’s infrastructure in the region, which has now been integrated into CityFibre’s overall infrastructure.
And euNetworks has brought on some additional management muscle. They have appointed Nick Walden as Chief Revenue Officer starting on December 2. Walden led Global Sales at Infinera after a 15 year stint at Ciena. Now he’ll be working on the network side of things as AI drives more and more bandwidth infrastructure investment across western Europe.
