Colorado's Wiggins Telephone Association Offers Rural America True, End-to-End Fiber Optic Internet Access Up to 100Mbps With D-Link Equipment
Overview Wiggins Telephone Association's copper telephone network was at the end of its 30-year lifecycle. Demand for new data services was placing new burdens on the existing telco network. Many of their customers were still using dial-up connections, and Wiggins was not able to deploy broadband services like DSL in many areas because of copper limitations. Another regional telecom provider, Golden West Internet Solutions, suggested that Wiggins install D-Link routers in their local service area. After testing several routers from various manufacturers, Wiggins settled on D-Link's WBR-1310 Wireless G Router. The WBR-1310 connects to an Optical Network Terminal (ONT) card provided by Calix (which is Wiggins' transport provider).
