What is aFiberCity®?

It will futureproof the area for generations to come, help close the digital divide and bring you more choice of providers. Not only this the network will help boost the local economy and enable Smart City applications to make for an even better place to live, work and play.

What isThe Plan?

SiFi Networks has been granted access to Lancaster’s right of ways to build a state-of-the-art community wide, fiber optic network, known as the Lancaster FiberCity®.

Right now, you can register your interest for updates on the FiberCity® while we wait approval to commence with construction.

The network will be privately funded, built and operated by SiFi Networks and is open access to  enable numerous internet service providers to deliver gigabit internet services to residents and businesses throughout the city.

 

How is theNetwork Built?

The network is built using microtrenching technology. The microtrenching machine is specifically designed to cut a 1.25 inch wide by 12 inch deep trench where fiber can be laid. The machine cleans the debris as it cuts so no dust is created, and the machine operates at a low 85 decibels. After the trench is cut, the fiber cables are laid and the trench is reinstated.
