Fiber-optic Network Solutions (FONS) Corporation, a leading manufacturer of passive connectivity solutions for the fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) market, announced that Capitol Infrastructure, working in conjunction with new home developers, property management companies, and service providers in the Southeast region, is deploying FONS' Pathways FTTH solutions in North Carolina and Florida, with expansions planned in several other states later this year. Capitol Infrastructure is deploying FONS' solutions to enable the delivery of true high-speed voice, video, and data services to new single-family and multi-family homes in the Southeast. Headquartered in North Carolina, Capitol Infrastructure is working with developers of new communities to build all-fiber network infrastructures designed to deliver cutting-edge services to community residents and is scheduled to deploy service capabilities to 50,000 homes. FONS is providing a full range of fiber-optic connectivity hardware and optical components, allowing Capitol Infrastructure to accelerate construction and deployment of these community fiber-optic networks, bringing new and improved services to their customer, the home developer, and ultimately the homeowner.

The home developer market is one of the fastest-growing market segments to embrace fiber deployment as the right solution for building and expanding access networks. Through FTTH networks, home developers are able to provide that additional service "edge" to differentiate their communities from others and to present a long-term value proposition to their homeowners. Pathways provides Capitol Infrastructure the most innovative solution for installing and connecting FTTH networks quickly, economically, and with the greatest reliability. "We are very excited to partner with FONS to be able to install the most sophisticated voice, video and Internet technologies to residential communities," stated Glen Lang, Principal and CEO of Capitol Infrastructure. "We chose FONS' Pathways solution because it allows us to install a very high-performance, flexible and economical network that effectively reduces both our installation and operating costs. FONS' easy to install solutions allow us to significantly reduce our deployment time so we can speed delivery of true broadband services to our customers, ensuring their communities have access to the very best voice, video and data services available today."
