When fully implemented over the next six to 18 months, these deployments are expected to help enable T-Mobile to deliver high-speed, third-generation wireless network services in a less expensive manner. They are also expected to expand existing network capacity and bandwidth to accommodate new, data-hungry mobile services and applications using HSDPA technology.
According to the agreement signed with Bright House Networks, T-Mobile will utilize Bright House Networks’s fiber distribution plant to provide backhaul in central Florida.
T-Mobile has signed an agreement with IP Networks to provide ethernet backhaul services in the greater San Francisco area. T-Mobile’s agreement with Zayo covers the Philadelphia and Memphis metropolitan areas, and more than 450 unique sites.
Nick Lenoci, corporate vice president of business solutions at Bright House Networks, said: We are pleased to be a part of this agreement by providing fiber networks to T-Mobile cell sites in Tampa Bay and Orlando. This is a great collaboration that connects our resources and gives our customers the ability to expand mobile technology effectively in our markets.
