There are more than one million commercial buildings and data centers across the U.S. that have on-net access to fiber-based network services, according to Emerging Networks Service (ENS) Fiber Plus research from Vertical Systems Group. While fiber availability increased to 64% for medium and large buildings, small building fiber growth in 2019 accounted for two-thirds of the new fiber-lit sites.
ENS Fiber’s U.S. Fiber Lit landscape research defines the medium and large fiber-lit sector as companies that have 20 or more employees while the small business sector has 20 or fewer employees.
