A fiber network expansion and three vendor portfolio expansions:
Ritter Communications has found another target market for its metro fiber network expansion. They have moved into Dyersburg TN, a city about an hour north by northwest along the Mississippi from Memphis. Ritter will spend some $2.5M to bring XGS-PON to the area, targeting businesses, schools, and other community destinations.
STL has boosted its optical fibre portfolio with a new, slimmer option. They have introduced 180 micron fibers, enabling the higher densities necessary to support next generation networks. STL recently showcased a microcable with 288 fibers that fits in an 8mm duct.
