RST Global Communications, a privately funded company based in Shelby, North Carolina, has begun construction on a 100% fiber-optic network that includes backbone, middle and late mile installation.
The network, which will serve North Carolina’s growing Piedmont region, is installed entirely underground at an average depth of 10 feet. The company said it is pursuing this approach instead of aerial fiber deployment in order to ensure maximum security, reliability and weather protection.
RST’s next phase of its Real Fiber Network will offer FTTP service to thousands of homes and businesses along the I-85 corridor.
