Consolidated Communications has completed a year-long project to expand and upgrade broadband to businesses and residents in Brooklin, Maine.
The project included adding fiber capacity, upgrading existing equipment and building remote terminal sites that expand broadband availability while providing faster internet service in the town. The project also paves the way for future technology implementations and upgrades.
Network construction was jointly funded by Consolidated and the town of Brooklin, and was completed on schedule. Consolidated crews placed approximately 22,600 feet of new fiber optic cable in the town, and installed battery back-up for four remote terminals bolstering network reliability.
Consolidated Communications is working to bring better broadband internet services to other unserved and underserved rural communities throughout northern New England. In 2019 Chesterfield, N.H., residents voted to enter into a public-private partnership with Consolidated Communications to build a high-speed, fiber-to-the-premises Internet network directly to all homes and businesses. And so far in 2020, Consolidated has entered into five additional public-private partnerships with Walpole, Dublin, Westmoreland, Rindge and Harrisville, N.H.
