First Phase of Fiber Construction Winding Up in Downtown Santa Cruz
Cruzio's spent many months and millions of dollars building fiber infrastructure under the streets of downtown Santa Cruz.
This is Santa Cruz Fiber’s first fiber-to-the-premises project, and we’ve supplemented by serving a much wider part of the County with fiber-fed fixed wireless connections — extending that fiber’s effect far and wide.
Fundamentally, we're moving from a dependence on old copper infrastructure to brand new connections which will provide much higher data rates — higher and higher for decades to come. And we’re getting these services to as many people as we can as fast as we can.
We feel it’s a great investment for us and our community.
There’s still another big step before every location in the fiber area is “lit up” and getting the hyper-fast service. After the construction finishes up in the next few weeks, Cruzio needs to finalize and test the brand-new cables and connect them to our data center. Then we'll “drop" the connections from our street fiber vaults directly to the homes and offices who’ve ordered service.
So we’ll be contacting people who’ve signed up for fiber in the next few months. We’re expecting to be all finished in October, with many locations served in the interim months.
That means now is a great time to sign up for fiber if you haven’t yet. Contact us and let us know you want it.
