our city is set to become a FiberCity®! We are bringing superfast fiber to homes and businesses.
Pittsburg FiberCity® is more than just a superfast fiber internet connection to homes and businesses. It will futureproof the area for generations to come, bring you more choice of providers, boost its economy and enable Smart City applications to make for a great city to live, work and play.
Pittsburg FiberCity® is being built citywide, meaning we pass each and every home and business, enabling every household opportunity to connect, helping to close the digital divide.
SiFi Networks has been granted access to Pittsburg’s right of ways to build a state-of-the-art community wide, fiber optic network, known as Pittsburg FiberCity®. The network will be privately funded by SiFi Networks and is open access meaning that multiple service providers can deliver their services upon the network.
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.
