Case Study: Cullman Electric achieves gigabit rural broadband with Ciena's 100G middle mile aggregation

Cullman Electric launches rural broadband with Ciena after 85 years

Cullman Electric, a rural utility cooperative in Alabama, faced the challenge of delivering scalable broadband internet services to its community. The vendor Ciena provided a middle mile aggregation solution to address this, enabling the launch of their Sprout Fiber Internet service.

Ciena's 100G middle mile aggregation solution equipped Cullman Electric's network to support Gigabit broadband speeds. This implementation allowed the long-established cooperative to successfully pave a new path by providing high-speed rural broadband to its members.
