Cruzio, an independent Internet service provider operating in Santa Cruz, Calif, has begun construction of the optical fiber trunking network that will support gigabit Internet access for Santa Cruz.
The network will use millimeter wave fixed wireless as the “last mile” technology.
In a somewhat unusual twist, the city of Santa Cruz actually will pay for and own the dark fiber trunking network, which Cruzio will light, lease and operate. The city believes the build will cost between $45 million and $50 million, to reach possibly 22,000 residences.
Cruzio will be the sole retail tenant of the network.
