Zayo Group Holdings has announced 12
follow-on customers for its Sacramento
to Salt Lake City route. Zayo completed
construction of the 970-mile route in late
2015.
The follow-on sales are to three long-haul
dark fiber and nine wavelengths
customers, including major carriers,
Internet and content companies. In
aggregate, the combined sales are
generating a strong return with a cash
flow yield of approximately 29 percent.
The Sacramento to Salt Lake City route
complements Zayo’s existing long-haul
network and enables diverse connectivity
for enterprise, carrier, cable and content
companies between major west coast
data center markets such as Los Angeles,
Seattle and the Bay Area to the rest of the
country.
“This route is generating significant
customer momentum, especially with
west coast content customers,” said Dave
Jones, executive vice president of dark
fiber solutions at Zayo. “It’s a unique route,
which provides critical diversity. Zayo now
provides four diverse paths from the west
coast to Chicago, with access to our
global network and infrastructure.”
With the completion of this route, Zayo’s
long-haul dark fiber network spans
approximately 30,000 route miles across
North America and Europe.
