Seimitsu, a Savannah-based service provider, is launching residential broadband services in the Isle of Hope, Dutch Island, and Sandfly neighborhoods, utilizing Ciena’s XGS-PON solution. The communities, nestled along Georgia’s coast, have been lacking in reliable high-speed fiber internet service, a issue community leaders sought to address.
The TrueConnX Home service, powered by Ciena’s technology, will deliver broadband speeds of up to 10Gb/s over fiber, ending slow connections, buffering, and lag for residents. The service will be accessed through an all-underground fiber network that stretches across Chatham County and up to Atlanta.
Highlights
- Seimitsu’s TrueConnX Home service will be available in late summer 2024, passing around 2,300 homes in the initial stage.
- The service will be powered by Ciena’s 5164 Routers, XGS-PON uOLTs, and 3802 ONUs.
- Seimitsu plans to pass 24,000 homes in Chatham County as it expands throughout the Low Country, aiming to bring the same reliability and velocity it has provided to business customers since its inception.
