Ciena will deliver a new regional fiber network across 10 Colorado counties, the Northwest Colorado Council of Governments (NWCCOG) announced yesterday.
More than 230,000 residents may gain access to higher bandwidth through this new offering. The coverage area in northwest Colorado already contains approximately 400 miles of existing public and private fiber. The new regional fiber network, known as Project Thor, will be distributed through 10 landing points throughout the coverage area. NWCCOG says about 80% of the infrastructure needed for the project is already in place due to existing fiber networks.
