Circle Fiber is building a fiber-to-the-premise (FTTP) network using XGS-PON fiber technology from Nokia in Cape Girardeau County, Missouri. The network, which is based upon Nokia’s Lightspan FX series technology, will deliver up to 10 Gbps speeds.
Circle Fiber, which is an operating unit of Big River Communications, said it is using funding from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Broadband ReConnect program to pay for the fiber network, which will connect approximately 125,000 homes, businesses, farms, schools, hospitals and government agencies in the area.
