Charter's Spectrum Enterprise to invest $1 billion in national fiber network

Spectrum Enterprise, which is a part of Charter Communications, will invest more than one billion dollars in new fiber infrastructure this year to increase the density of its national fiber network. The carrier will also new tools, training and resources required to provide a differentiated client experience.

The company said its one billion dollar investment will primarily fund increased client access to the existing Spectrum Enterprise national fiber network, adding to the network's nearly 200,000 fiber-lit buildings.  The majority of the new fiber will be constructed within the existing Spectrum Enterprise national footprint. 

Last year, Charter also invested in excess of $1 billion exclusively in Spectrum Enterprise.
