Zito-Graham-1
Zito Media proposes to deploy a Fiber-to-the-Premise (FTTP) broadband network based on XGS-PON architecture, delivering symmetrical speeds of at least 100 Mbps and up to 1 Gbps (upgradeable to 10 Gbps) to 1,522 unserved and underserved Broadband Serviceable Locations (BSLs). The network design includes Optical Line Terminals (OLTs) installed at regional headends or remote cabinets, with dedicated fiber drops to each serviceable location. The project will utilize both aerial and underground construction methods, with path diversity and capacity augmentation plans to maintain performance. Backhaul will be provided through Zito’s IP/MPLS core network (AS26801), with multiple 10 Gbps or greater links connecting to national internet points of presence. Network performance will be monitored continuously, with capacity expansions triggered by utilization thresholds to ensure compliance with BEAD performance standards.
