Shaping Communities

Make your city a better place to live, work and play

SiFi Networks under its FiberCity® brand is laying the foundations for cities to thrive for generations to come by funding, building and operating open access, citywide, 100% fiber optic networks that provide a backbone for economic growth and continuous development. A FiberCity® closes the digital divide and sets an example for other cities across the world to follow.

All of our FiberCities® are open access networks, we dig once thanks to the future proofed infrastructure design with superfluous capacity that provides one network for multiple service providers to deliver their services upon to the entire city.

We use microtrenching technology to deploy the network, a method which is minimally disruptive to the community, and as we build the network we install access points for Smart City services. By doing this we are laying the foundations for the city to become a Smart City, facilitating economic growth and becoming a fully enabled digitally sustainable city for generations to come.

Closing the Digital Divide

All our FiberCities® have a citywide infrastructure footprint that helps to close the digital divide in a city.

We don’t redline or cherry pick, we construct through every street, past every home and business regardless of demographics, giving everyone the opportunity to connect. For some areas of a city this can be life changing, by enabling access to better educational and employment resources.

Our three layer model

Our unique open access model promotes a healthy competitive environment for multiple service providers to deliver their services upon, stimulating choice and better customer service. We are shaping how the industry operates, breaking down the traditional monopoly in a broadband network and separating it into three entities:

  • Management / Infrastructure company Builds and owns the fiber in the ground
