Logix Fiber Networks, a Texas-based business fiber provider, has deployed multiple 400G wavelength services to one of the nation’s largest wireless carriers. The deployment on an 800G backbone is designed to provide the carrier with scalable, diverse and reliable backbone connectivity to support its growing wireless traffic demands, the company said.
“This is the first 400G deployment for our wireless wholesale customers, with more to come,” said Jim Hintze, chief revenue officer at Logix Fiber Networks. “With multiple 400G waves deployed on an 800G backbone, carriers have the ability to add waves to scale nearly on demand as data usage accelerates.”
The agreement represents the largest wavelength backbone deal Logix has delivered to a wireless carrier to date, officials said.
The new backbone connections are intended to establish inter-market diversity throughout Texas connecting the major metro areas. The deployment is designed to ensure that cellular traffic remains online and uninterrupted, even in the event of a fiber cut or network disruption. Logix’s network design offers redundancy and low-latency performance to support 5G growth and next-generation wireless services across the region, the company said.
“Wireless carriers trust us to keep their customers connected to the backhaul fiber necessary for a reliable, strong network,” said Hintze. “By investing in expanded backbone capacity and diverse long-haul routes between Texas’ largest markets, Logix continues to strengthen the reliability and resiliency of the state’s communications infrastructure.”
Logix’s statewide fiber network spans more than 300,000 fiber miles, with more than 3,000 on-net buildings, coloration data centers and connections to more than 80 data centers across Texas.
