Frontier Communications and Nokia Connect 100,000 Homes With Next-Generation Fiber Broadband Technology

NORWALK, Conn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–$FYBR #fortune500–Frontier Communications (NASDAQ: FYBR) and its strategic technology partner Nokia announced today they have connected 100,000 homes to XGS-PON broadband technology. Frontier is using Nokia’s next-generation technology to power its fiber build and deliver services that will enable blazing-fast network speed, reliability, and capacity for Frontier’s residential customers.

“This is a big step forward for our fiber expansion plan, which will reach 600,000 new locations by the end of this year and a targeted 10 million locations by the end of 2025,” said Veronica Bloodworth, Frontier’s Chief Network Officer. “Customers will enjoy lightning-fast connectivity so they can work, study, surf the internet, and enjoy the latest streaming entertainment.”
