OMAHA,
Neb., April 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- eX²
Technology, a Vivacity company and single source solution for those
seeking to build, scale or future proof their communications
infrastructure, announces today its 25-year partnership with the
Arizona Commerce Authority (ACA) and Arizona Department of
Transportation (ADOT) through the Arizona Middle-Mile Fiber
Infrastructure Program.
Through this program, eX² Technology will provide operations,
maintenance and commercialization services for conduit, fiber,
wireless and other network infrastructure assets along Arizona's I-17, I-19 and I-40W corridors,
totaling more than 200 miles of interstate right of way.
Additionally, the company will oversee the design and construction
of future communications infrastructure along I-10 and I-8
corridors as well as monetize future fiber, conduit and wireless
assets within the ADOT right of way.
"We're thrilled to begin our long-term partnership with the ACA
and ADOT to help bring high-speed internet accessibility to
Arizona communities," said
Jay Jorgensen, Chief Operating
Officer at eX² Technology. "By leveraging our deep Arizona knowledge, experience and passion, we
understand the region's unique challenges and are confident that we
will deliver on this program's statewide broadband goals. We're
opening broadband corridors that have never before existed, and
we're excited to deliver upon the country's largest statewide
broadband program initiative to date."
The Arizona Middle-Mile Fiber Program was designed to positively
impact Arizona by facilitating
Intelligent Transportation Systems technology expansion; creating a
robust statewide education network; enabling underserved broadband
development and expansion and improving digital equity throughout
the state by reducing broadband barriers for new market entrants;
supporting communications redundancy during emergencies; and
generating third-party revenues to offset future development and
network maintenance costs.
"We believe that every Arizonan should have equitable access to
reliable and affordable broadband," said Sandip Bhowmick, VP of Infrastructure and State
Broadband Director at Arizona Commerce Authority. "We chose eX² as
a partner because of their decades-long relationships with
national, regional and local carriers and service providers, their
dynamic team of local Arizona
partners and their rich history working with customers, many of
which are located in Arizona."
"Our mission at the ADOT Broadband Office is to support,
facilitate and standardize broadband resource sharing opportunities
and permitting processes to expand broadband deployment to unserved
and underserved communities across the State," said Brad Burgess, Broadband Coordinator at ADOT.
