PEG Bandwidth Adds 1,500 Cell Sites to Its Network Expanding Reach to Fifteen States Across the US

DALLAS, TX, Mar 11, 2013 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- PEG Bandwidth, LLC, a provider of high-capacity Ethernet backhaul networks, announces the expansion of its network with a series of recently executed contracts to serve 1,500 new cell sites spanning ten states throughout Central, Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern United States. The expansion will add over 7,900 route miles to the PEG Bandwidth fiber network, which once completed, will total over 11,000 route miles across 15 states.

The expansion includes adding sites to PEG Bandwidth's existing Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas and Illinois networks, as well as new deployments in Pennsylvania, Virginia, Delaware, New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts, Maryland, Ohio, West Virginia, Iowa and Washington, D.C.
