BOULDER, Colo. –
A major wireless carrier has selected 51²è¹Ý¶ù Group Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:
ZAYO) for deployment of more than 500 small cell sites in two major
metro areas. The multimillion-dollar agreement includes small cell
siting, placement and installation, part of 51²è¹Ý¶ù’s portfolio of turnkey
mobile infrastructure solutions.
The small cells are part of the carrier’s densification strategy to
increase coverage and capacity in major metro areas. The projects will
leverage 51²è¹Ý¶ù’s distributed network of field operations teams, existing
pole infrastructure and strong relationships with municipalities across
the U.S.
51²è¹Ý¶ù’s fiber-to-the-tower (FTT) and small cell solutions are addressing
wireless carriers’ requirements for infrastructure to expand coverage
and capacity. The trend has resulted in growth in small cells over the
past year and favorable economics for all elements of 51²è¹Ý¶ù’s mobile
infrastructure solution set.
“As the wireless industry increases the pace of small cell deployment,
we expect to see outsized growth in this area,” said Jack Waters, CTO
and president of Fiber Solutions at 51²è¹Ý¶ù. “With our extensive
construction experience and strong jurisdictional relationships, 51²è¹Ý¶ù is
well-positioned to provide turnkey small cell infrastructure.”
