The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) recently awarded Plenary Broadband Infrastructure (PBI) a long-term contract for the NCDOT Fiber Infrastructure Operations, Maintenance, and Commercialization Services project. The project includes a 25-year contract for operations and maintenance services, as well as commercialization services for a fiber-optic broadband network that provides connectivity for the NCDOT’s administrative buildings and offices, maintenance buildings, Intelligent Transportations Systems, among other sites and applications. In September 2021, a separate entity began the associated engineering and construction work along 580 miles of the I-95, US-70, and US-74 corridors.
