The Office of Education for a northern California county has selected Zayo Group Holdings, Inc. for a dark fiber network that will connect 28 school districts. The 183-mile network includes 173 miles of network in place or already under construction and 10 miles of new build, which will be leveraged for follow-on tenants. The solution also leverages a previously announced network expansion project in the Bay Area. More than 250,000 students and educators will leverage the higher bandwidth for online resources, streaming media and online resources and apps integral to present K-12 curriculum. The district is funding the upgrade through E-Rate, a federal program that subsidizes internet infrastructure so schools and libraries can provide high-speed internet.
