Cityside launches $100 million fiber build in Corona, Calif.
(UI) — Cityside Fiber has started construction in Corona, Calif., as part of a planned $100 million investment to expand its fiber-optic network from Orange County into the Inland Empire.
Work is underway in multiple areas of Corona, with the company targeting initial residential connections this summer. The buildout extends Cityside’s existing Southern California footprint and marks its first major push into the Inland Empire market.
The Corona project follows prior service launches in Irvine, Mission Viejo, Lake Forest, Dana Point, Tustin, North Tustin, San Juan Capistrano and Laguna Hills. The company provides fiber-to-the-premise (FTTP) internet service for residential and business customers.
“We’re thrilled to be making this sizable investment in the future of Corona and provide consumers with an alternative to outdated cable providers,” said Rod Hanson, CEO of Cityside Fiber. “At Cityside Fiber, we take a customer-first approach, and we’re looking forward to delivering a faster, more reliable internet option to residents and businesses across Corona and the Inland Empire.”
City of Corona Mayor Jacque Casillas welcomed the expansion.
“We are excited to have Cityside take this first step in providing fiber-optic internet to the residents of Corona,” Casillas said. “Fast, reliable internet throughout the city will help keep our community connected, support local businesses, and help us build a community where everyone can thrive.”
Cityside, headquartered in Irvine, offers 1 Gig, 2 Gig and 5 Gig service tiers and also provides wholesale fiber solutions for municipalities and commercial customers, including infrastructure supporting smart city and 5G applications.
