Active Drops Construction:

 

The following areas are actively building drops:

*Romona 101, 103, & 104


Construction – In Progress:


*Spencer 101 (formerly North and South):

 

·         The recent changes in zone boundaries and naming better reflect where SCI Fiber is currently in construction and areas we plan to serve.

·         Distribution construction is nearing completion, with drops beginning in March 2023.

 

Hart Lake: Distribution construction is almost complete.  Drops should begin by April 2023.

 

Cunot 104:  Distribution construction nearing completion.  Drops and activations expected to begin in March 2023.

 

Mooresville 101:  Construction has begun.  Awaiting a permit from INDOT to cross SR67 as well as a pole contact permit from Hoosier Energy.


Freedom: Construction of the backbone from our territory boundary into UDWI territory is complete. Distribution construction has begun in the area shown in red and will continue into late winter/early spring 2023.  Expect drops to begin in spring 2023.  





Backbone:   We continue to construct backbone fiber throughout our system ahead of the distribution fiber.  The backbone is used to interconnect our substations enabling smart grid technology to improve the safety and reliability of our electric distribution system. In addition, it provides the fiber connectivity from our headend to your home.  Construction is currently focusing on building backbone along the southern and northern portions of our system to create “rings.”  These rings provide redundant paths from the substations back to our headend.  This means that if one path, for some reason, gets cut, the system will automatically redirect traffic to the backup path and prevent a service outage to our electric distribution devices as well as your home.

 

Construction of our backbone tie through Spencer will be completed by mid-February.  Networking will turn up this last portion of our backbone soon after its completion.
