Margate is the First City in the State to Have Signed an agreement for a Citywide Fiberoptic Network, Closing the Digital Divide and Offering 10 Gbps of Speed \u2013 Among the Fastest Internet Speeds in U.S.<\/strong><\/p>\n

SiFi Networks, the pioneer of open-access fiber networks in the USA has secured a contract with the City of Margate to deploy its open access, multi gig, all fiber network.<\/p>\n

SiFi Networks will fund, build and operate Margate FiberCity\u00ae. Built citywide, it will enable all residents and businesses in Margate to access fast, affordable, and reliable fiber service and provide digital equity to the whole city.<\/p>\n

All SiFi Networks\u2019 FiberCities\u00ae are open access, enabling multiple service providers to deliver service to the city.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe open access architecture of a FiberCity\u00ae creates a healthy competitive environment for service providers, which in turn benefits subscribers through improved customer service and competitive pricing,\u201d commented Scott Bradshaw, President SiFi Networks. \u201cWe are thrilled to have Margate approve for us to build out our citywide network, this will secure the digital future of the city and set a bar for other cities in the state to reach.\u201d added Scott.<\/p>\n

SiFi Networks is passionate about creating a big impact on communities. With its citywide deployment method FiberCities\u00ae promote digital equity, and this is further supported by its FiberCity\u00ae Aid program which subsidizes internet subscriptions for homes most in need.<\/p>\n

A citywide fiber network such as this can enable a multitude of benefits including economic development and the ability to connect to smart city applications.<\/p>\n
