OVERVIEW

Utility & Electric Co-ops

Electric cooperatives and utilities expanding into broadband services have been among the highest growth areas in the communications industry over the last decade.

Now, government stimulus programs and compelling success stories are causing this market to grow even faster globally.

One hundred years ago, electric cooperatives and power companies stepped up to build the essential service of the 20th century – electricity – for their communities and regions.

Fast forward to present day, as you step up to leverage elements of that foundational infrastructure to bring the next essential service of the 21st century to your communities: fiber-based broadband.

Already known and trusted in the areas you serve, broadband is viewed as a complementary business model, a way to stimulate economic development and in many cases take advantage of symbiotic power efficiency initiatives like “smart grid.”

Leveraging communications networks that monitor substations, pole infrastructure and billing and support systems, you may already be using new technologies to bring world-class broadband services to underserved and unserved markets.

DZS has a long history of partnering with and enabling many of the most successful electric broadband service providers around the world, helping them to deploy differentiated gigabit and now multi-gigabit services in their communities efficiently and effectively.

Let DZS help you to unleash hyper-fast broadband and deliver an unparalleled subscriber experience.
