tw telecom announced a multi-market expansion of its metro and regional fiber network into five new markets across the U.S.: Boston, Cleveland, Salt Lake City, Philadelphia and Richmond.
The expansion increases its addressable market by expanding its metro fiber footprint approximately 17%. tw telecom will also increase the density of its metro-fiber footprint in 27 existing markets.
"Our multi-market expansion will leverage our proven investment model, national network, Ethernet leadership and our powerful and scalable integrated nationwide platform to rapidly rollout products and services across our expanding footprint," said Larissa Herda, tw telecom's Chairman, CEO and President.
"Expanding our fiber infrastructure will allow us to build on our nationwide network by increasing our addressable market, extending our regional connectivity, and strengthening key corridors of commerce for our existing operations," said John Blount, tw telecom's Chief Operating Officer. "By accelerating the expansion of our existing markets using our established operational teams and infrastructure, as well as entering new cities where our customers already have networking needs, this expansion gives us quick access to current demand and an accelerated path to greater revenue opportunities."
