Construction Commences in Placentia, CA

It is a momentous week for the City of Placentia, CA as SiFi Networks’ construction team arrive to commence construction of Placentia FiberCity®.

SiFi has contracted Lat Long Infrastructure (LLI) LLC, to deploy the network. LLI are specialists in microtrench technology, the method used to deploy all SiFi Networks’ FiberCities®.

“We are really excited to have started construction, to bring a reliable, resilient superfast fiber network to the city of Placentia” commented Goeff Spickler, VP Community Relations SiFi Networks.

“The network will futureproof the city, boost economic development and by constructing through every street it will help close the digital divide in the city. It will also help deliver smart city applications, making it a great city to live, work and play, the community should be very excited”. Added Spickler.
