The Georgia Department of Transportation (Georgia DOT) has selected Plenary Americas, and its digital infrastructure joint venture with Tikehau Star Infra (TSI) and Tilson, called Plenary Broadband Infrastructure (PBI), as the Operations, Maintenance and Commercialization partner for their Statewide Broadband project, which will install broadband along all interstates in Georgia.

When completed, a portion of the 1,400 miles of broadband infrastructure will be dedicated to Georgia DOT’s traffic operations with additional capacity reserved for commercial use which will provide faster, more reliable broadband access for communities, households and businesses in 70 Georgia counties. During the next 25 years, PBI will operate, maintain and commercialize approximately 650 route miles of fiber within Georgia Interstate roads, adding to the 1,100+ route miles from the two existing partnerships. 

PBI develops, operates, and commercializes long-haul fiber routes for hyperscale data center operators and telecom carrier transport, including significant routes on the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission right of way and North Carolina DOT interstate highway system.
