Michigan partnership to develop 90-mile fiber route connecting Southfield to Lansing
(UI) — Three Michigan companies, 123NET, DayStarr Communications and Peninsula Fiber Network, announced a new 90-mile fiber route connecting Southfield to Lansing. Underground construction has begun and will continue for approximately 18 months.
The project partners are 123NET, Michigan's premier fiber internet, colocation, and voice services provider; Owosso, MI-based DayStarr Communications, a high-speed Internet and phone service provider; and Marquette, MI-based Peninsula Fiber Network, a provider of network, NG911, and core services throughout the state and in Wisconsin.
This multi-million-dollar joint investment brings state-of-the-art optical fiber opportunities to Lansing, Okemos, Williamston, Webberville, Fowlerville, Howell, Brighton and other municipalities along the path. This network will enhance connectivity options in underserved areas.
One common goal that all three companies share is improving connectivity options to nearby underserved or unserved areas. This network investment will not only bring connectivity to nearby communities but will create opportunities for more partnerships in the future.
"Continued investment in Michigan's telecommunications infrastructure is both prudent and necessary,” Scott Randall, general manager of Peninsula Fiber Network, said. “We're happy to partner with 123NET and DayStarr to strengthen our mutual position as leaders in the state telecommunications industry and to help achieve the state's goal of ubiquitous broadband coverage for all residents and businesses."
