eX² Technology is making headlines again this week, and this time, the company has announced its 25-year partnership with the Arizona Commerce Authority (ACA) and Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) through the Arizona Middle-Mile Fiber Infrastructure Program.

Through the partnership, eX² Technology will provide operations, maintenance and commercialization services for conduit, fiber, wireless and other network infrastructure assets along Arizona’s I-17, I-19 and I-40W corridors, totaling more than 200 miles of interstate right of way. 

“We’re thrilled to begin our long-term partnership with the ACA and ADOT to help bring high-speed internet accessibility to Arizona communities,” said Jay Jorgensen, Chief Operating Officer at eX² Technology. “By leveraging our deep Arizona knowledge, experience and passion, we understand the region’s unique challenges and are confident that we will deliver on this program’s statewide broadband goals. We’re opening broadband corridors that have never before existed, and we’re excited to deliver upon the country’s largest statewide broadband program initiative to date.”

The Arizona Middle-Mile Fiber Program was designed to positively impact Arizona by facilitating Intelligent Transportation Systems technology expansion; creating a robust statewide education network; enabling underserved broadband development and expansion and improving digital equity throughout the state by reducing broadband barriers for new market entrants; supporting communications redundancy during emergencies; and generating third-party revenues to offset future development and network maintenance costs.

Most recently, eX² Technology joined forces with Navajo County to design and build more than 100-mile open-access, dark fiber middle-mile network infrastructure to expand broadband throughout Navajo County, Arizona.
