ALLO Communications Honored for Fiber Industry Excellence

IMPERIAL, Neb., June 12, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- ALLO Communications received The Chairman's Award for excellence in the fiber industry. At its Fiber Connect show in Orlando, Florida, the Fiber Broadband Association honored two extraordinary organizations and one individual for their dedication to advancing the fiber broadband industry in the past year.

The 2019 award winners are:

    --  2019 Chairman's Award: ALLO Communications
    --  2019 Star Award: Sonic Networks
    --  2019 Photon Award: Mark Boxer, Applications Engineering Manager with OFS

"The Fiber Broadband Association is thrilled to honor ALLO Communications for their efforts to deploy all-fiber networks to communities and business across North America," said Fiber Broadband Association President and CEO Lisa R. Youngers. "We cannot do this alone. Fiber is a true differentiator and we are grateful for all of the people and companies with us on the path to the fiber future."

The superior technology to deliver Internet and network services is optical fiber that carries a communications signal from an operator's equipment all the way to a home, business or enterprise. This technology has been found to be more robust and reliable than older technologies. Though relatively new, running fiber to homes (fiber-to-the-home) is a fast growing method of providing much greater bandwidth and speeds to consumers and businesses, for more robust video, internet and voice services.

Current fiber optic technology can provide two-way transmission speeds - upload and download -- of over a gigabit per second. As older technologies stretch the limits of their performance or speed, constant improvements in fiber optic technology and equipment can improve how much bandwidth is available without having to deploy new networks. That is why fiber networks are said to be "futureproof."
