Hexatronic US Inc, a wholly owned subsidiary of Europe’s Hexatronic Group AB, says it has earned a three-year strategic partner agreement with Ting Internet to supply micro ducts, blown fiber, micro cables, blowing tools, and accessories for Ting’s fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) requirements.
Ting, a unit of Tucows, provides FTTH services in 13 markets across the U.S. (see, for example, “Ting Internet plans FTTH deployment in Fuquay-Varina, NC”). Hexatronic has supplied the broadband services provider with fiber plant for the past year leading up to the new agreement.
“We are thrilled to expand our partnership with Hexatronic. At Ting, we wholeheartedly believe that fiber is the future and are working tirelessly to elevate the internet experience for people all across America. To scale and bring our customers the best possible service, we need partners who are equally committed,” commented Jill Szuchmacher, chief strategy officer and executive vice president of Ting Internet. “The team at Hexatronic has provided superior support and service to Ting for the past year and we look forward to a long and successful partnership.”
“The U.S. market is today Hexatronic’s largest market, and it is one of our three strategic growth markets. We are very proud to have become a strategic partner to Ting and support them in their ambitious build plans,” added Henrik Larsson Lyon, CEO of Hexatronic Group. “With our proven FTTH solution that focuses on an efficient install and high quality, reinforced by our field support services and training, we are confident that we will bring value to the Ting FTTH build. We see this agreement as further proof of our strategy to bring value to our customers by providing the lowest total cost of ownership with our solutions and services. We will continue to invest in the U.S. market to support Ting and other customers.”
