The network connects Toledo, OH to Columbus, OH and covers multiple underserved towns throughout Western Ohio.  In order to effectively implement the project, Com Net established the GigE Plus Availability Coalition consisting of Zayo, OARnet and 33 Broadband Service Providers to deploy broadband to 28 Western Ohio counties. ![](https://static.hsstatic.net/BlogImporterAssetsUI/ex/missing-image.png "Screen shot 2011-10-04 at 4.51.22 PM")Once completed, the project will add nearly 366 new miles of fiber to Zayo’s existing Ohio network. Schools, state and local governments, public safety entities, libraries and community support organizations will all have access to network connectivity through this build. The project objectives include encouraging investment in economically distressed counties along the route, enabling local service providers to connect to the GigE Plus project’s open network in order to offer affordable broadband access to community members and providing connectivity to core institutions of the communities.
