Zayo Announces Focus on Small Cell
New Technology to Extend Reach of Wireless Networks
(firmenpresse) - LOUISVILLE, CO -- (Marketwire) -- 06/19/12 -- Zayo Group is pleased to announce the formation of a dedicated team focused on Small Cell and Fiber to the Tower (FTT) initiatives. The team will be reporting to Matt Erickson, President of Zayo Fiber Solutions. Small Cells, which are smaller antennas that attach to lamp posts, buildings and other aspects of the urban landscape, are utilized to enhance the mobile network reach for wireless providers.
Small Cell deployments require extensive fiber footprints to cost-effectively provide the infrastructure layer. Zayo currently manages fiber in more than 50 metro markets, and with the pending acquisition of AboveNet will enable other tier 1 markets such as New York, San Francisco and Houston. Already, Zayo provides the underlying infrastructure for 100 Small Cell locations in three metropolitan markets.
Zayo has appointed David Dunn, an experienced infrastructure executive, to lead the efforts. Mr. Dunn will lead the team committed to making Zayo's fiber footprint available for Small Cell deployment and bring Zayo's Small Cell offering to market.
"The growth in mobile data demand creates a substantial opportunity for Zayo," states , President of Zayo Fiber Solutions. "We are currently engaged in discussions with wireless carriers, tower companies, telecom providers, DAS companies, and wireless equipment manufacturers to provide dark fiber solutions to support national Small Cell deployments."
Currently, Zayo is the leader in the competitive telecommunications space for FTT, with more than 3,500 towers on-net or under construction. Zayo will continue to build on its expertise in FTT, where it has been providing turn-key lit and dark solutions for wireless providers at Macro sites, and apply it to Small Cell deployments.
According to Cisco's 2012 VNI Report, North American mobile data demand is forecasted to increase 75% per year between 2011 and 2016.
