Toronto-based Ting, a division of Tucows (NASDAQ: TCX) (TSX: TC), today announced its expansion into new markets with digital infrastructure partner, Ubiquity; together, the companies will now build out advanced fiber internet infrastructure to Carlsbad, California and Mesa, Arizona.
The new work is an extension of the partnership between Ting and Ubiquity that began in the Solana Beach and Encinitas markets of Southern California in 2019.
Now, Ubiquity's experience in the construction and asset management of digital infrastructure networks will accelerate Ting's deployment of superior fiber internet to both the Carlsbad and Mesa municipalities.
Ubiquity construction in both Carlsbad, California and Mesa, Arizona began in early 2023 and is expected to continue for the next few years.
The tenant partnership with Ubiquity is expected to result in up to 150,000 available fiber addresses across both markets over the build term.
Elliot Noss, CEO of Tucows and Ting, commented:
"Our partnership with Ubiquity allows us to connect more residents and businesses to fiber, faster, while being efficient with construction resources. We're excited to work with a team that shares our vision of what future-proofed communities can look like now, and into the future."
Jamie Earp, co-CEO and managing partner of Ubiquity, remarked:
"Like Ting, we believe that accessible high-speed fiber internet is critical sustainable infrastructure that supports community growth. Our complimentary areas of expertise and shared values made this partnership ideal to build sustainable, smart city solutions for municipalities over the long-term."
