new mexico network Zayo Group has announced plans to build a high bandwidth network in Albuquerque, New Mexico including fiber optic cable stretching from the South Valley to the foot of the Sandia Mountains.

The fiber build, in support of a 4G expansion for one of Zayo’s wireless customers, will be 158 route miles of new network. With numerous on-net and near-net buildings throughout the Albuquerque metro, Zayo’s fiber presence will provide access to high bandwidth communications for major industries in the area, specifically aiding those in research and development, government, and manufacturing. This expansion marks Zayo’s entrance into greater Albuquerque as a bandwidth infrastructure provider. The fiber build will cover Albuquerque from the suburb of South Valley to Bernalillo, east to Highway 556, and west to Highway 448. Zayo currently offers high bandwidth communication services from a single point of presence in Albuquerque to other cities across its national network, but was unable to offer fiber based solutions within the Albuquerque metropolitan area.
