Fiber Optic Network
Greensboro’s municipal fiber optic network consists of approximately 200 miles of fiber located throughout
the city. The City’s fiber network connects over 300 traffic signals and city facilities such as office buildings,
recreation centers, libraries, water treatment plants, fire stations, police substations and maintenance
facilities at speeds up to 40 gigabits-per-second.

The City’s fiber optic network is the platform for building a “Smart City” future for Greensboro. An eight-mile
stretch of fiber along the Gate City Boulevard corridor will provide the City with its first opportunity to pilot
Smart City technology. The Smart Corridor pilot project will leverage data and technology to address
community challenges, engage residents and students, and attract entrepreneurs and startups to participate
in developing and testing smart technology. The fiber along the corridor will be used to connect smart kiosks,
smart water meters, LED lighting, sensors, IoT devices, autonomous vehicles and to provide high-speed
broadband access along the corridor.
