Phase two expands the network roll-out to different areas and will continue until fiber is deployed to cover the entire KUB electric service territory. Phase one includes the construction of the fiber network backbone, which runs along the current electrical lines. LightSpeed was selected to provide the IP Core for the XGS-PON network, which is set to be delivered in a multi-phase approach. In December 2021, KUB announced it would begin to roll out its new fiber optic network. As an independent agency of the City of Knoxville, KUB provides electric, natural gas, water, and wastewater services to nearly half a million customers in Knoxville and parts of seven surrounding counties. The Knoxville Utilities Board was created by an amendment to the Knoxville City Charter in 1939. When complete, the XGS-PON network will enable KUB to provide 100% fiber-to-the-home, symmetrical broadband Internet access to its customers.
The IP Core Network currently being implemented is comprised primarily of state-of-the-art Nokia 7750 Service Routers.
