Sharing a fiber network is a groundbreaking change and service providers will benefit

A fundamental change is taking place in America. It sounds counter-intuitive, but not owning the fiber infrastructure means that service providers (SP) gain more than they lose.

Here, Mike Harris of SiFi Networks discusses their “dig once” philosophy in a FiberCity^®, and how a network is not owned by the service provider, but shared between all providers.

Sharing at first sounds like giving something up. Instead, sharing in this instance means gaining several advantages. Working with SiFi Networks has three benefits for SPs. When an SP enters the market, the network is ready. No time is wasted on planning, installing and testing.

SiFi Networks has already prepared everything for market entry, which allows SPs to enter new markets quicker. It also means that SPs don’t have to worry about maintaining the infrastructure. SiFi Networks guarantees high-speed fiber to all households and businesses in the FiberCity.

Monetary benefits

SPs don’t have to carry the cost of laying their own proprietary fiber into the ground. They save significant amounts of money and time by not having to gain permission from cities and install their own infrastructure. Instead, they can focus all their efforts on providing the best service to their customers and spend their money on winning new business.

There are accounting benefits too. The fiber network is no longer an investment on the balance sheet of a SP, but becomes an expenditure on the profit and loss statement. Instead of having to finance an infrastructure, revenues will cover the cost of the network.

The future

The FiberCity is ready for the next generation of technologies, such as the smart city or the smart home. A smart city has interconnected safety, such as smart streetlights, smart traffic lights and smart park gates, which recognize when someone is there and make the smart city a safer place.

With SiFi Networks, service providers can expand the services they offer from providing a connection to providing solutions. Smart cities and smart homes need a wealth of software and hardware solutions and the SPs of America are in an ideal place to help bring about technological change.
