Through its partnership with adjacent providers, Windstream Wholesale’s Beach Route extends connectivity to Atlanta, Miami, and Charlotte, enhancing dark fiber network expansion opportunities. Leveraging the Windstream Wholesale iconnect customer portal ensures reliable and efficient network tracking with dark fiber monitoring and proactive ticketing, optimizing performance and minimizing downtime.
Joe Scattareggia, Windstream Wholesale president, said, “We’re not just expanding infrastructure; we’re redefining connectivity standards and empowering our customers on a monumental scale.”
Windstream Wholesale is also progressing on the southern portion and final segment of the Beach Route, adding 192 route miles of new conduit extending from Savannah into the Jacksonville Beach Network Access Point. Scheduled for service by the second quarter of 2024, this segment will provide access to two critical sub-sea cables, AMX-1 and PCCS.
As Windstream lights these segments, it will integrate this diverse route into its ICON network for 100G and 400G wave services scheduled for deployment in the second quarter of 2024.
