Plenary Broadband Infrastructure (PBI) has assumed operations and maintenance responsibility of a ~500-mile fiber optic network along the Pennsylvania Turnpike east of Harrisburg, including the Northeast Extension (I-476) to Scranton.
The network will provide connectivity for the Commission’s administrative buildings/offices, maintenance buildings, tolling systems, Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), and other sites and applications.
PBI will also be responsible for commercializing additional fiber capacity along the route and developing network infrastructure that will provide increased connectivity for the region and generate revenues for the project.
PBI has constructed In-Line-Amplification Huts (ILA Huts) along the PTC Right-of-Way to support colocation and power for dark fiber customers. Additionally, PBI is building towards strategic data center locations near the PTC ROW to enable the company to provide lit services (up to 400 Gbps).
