An award is not an open solicitation, revenue, cash received, or guaranteed contractor demand. A planned date alone does not establish construction or completion.

Description supplied by the source

Zito Media proposes to deploy a Fiber-to-the-Premise (FTTP) broadband network based on XGS-PON architecture, delivering symmetrical speeds of at least 100 Mbps and up to 1 Gbps (upgradeable to 10 Gbps) to 1,522 unserved and underserved Broadband Serviceable Locations (BSLs). The network design includes Optical Line Terminals (OLTs) installed at regional headends or remote cabinets, with dedicated fiber drops to each serviceable location. The project will utilize both aerial and underground construction methods, with path diversity and capacity augmentation plans to maintain performance. Backhaul will be provided through Zito’s IP/MPLS core network (AS26801), with multiple 10 Gbps or greater links connecting to national internet points of presence. Network performance will be monitored continuously, with capacity expansions triggered by utilization thresholds to ensure compliance with BEAD performance standards.

Limitations and interpretation

  • An award is a research signal. The award holder decides its own bids and subcontracts. Confirm project status and vendor needs with them.

“Not reported” means missing information, not zero. Completed and withdrawn records can remain available as historical records.
