The Metropolitan Unified Fiber Network project plans to deploy more than 100 miles of fiber-optic middle mile infrastructure to provide high-capacity broadband Internet connections for underserved community anchor institutions, and enable last-mile broadband services throughout the Madison, Middleton, and Monona, Wisconsin region. The project expects to directly connect nearly 100 community anchor institutions, including schools, public safety organizations, and a community college, at speeds of up to 10 Gbps. The project also expects to spur new or improved broadband Internet access for local residents and businesses, including as many as 47,000 households and 5,000 businesses, by enabling last mile service providers to connect to the project’s open network.
