This project involves a long-term partnership between Plenary Broadband Infrastructure (PBI) and NCDOT, whereby PBI will operate, maintain, and commercialize a fiber-optic network that will extend along ~700 miles of the North Carolina I-95, U.S. 70, and U.S. 74 corridors.
In addition to commercializing new fiber capacity along the route, PBI has now begun to operate and maintain the NCDOT-owned network and associated assets that provide connectivity for NCDOT’s administrative buildings and offices, maintenance buildings, and Intelligent Transportations Systems, among other sites and applications. PBI has constructed In-Line-Amplification Huts (ILA Huts) along the NCDOT Right-of-Way to support colocation and power for dark fiber customers. Additionally, PBI is building towards strategic data center locations near the NCDOT ROW to enable the company to provide lit services (up to 800 Gbps).
