Empowering Ziply Fiber's Vision

How ReadyLinks Became the Ideal Partner for Transforming the Pacific Northwest's Network

Overview

Born of private equity acquisition of Frontier Communications Northwest Operations, Ziply Fiber, an Internet Service Provider (ISP), set out to bring the best network possible to the Pacific Northwest. They had to hit the ground running post acquisition to embark on their aggressive transformative plan. ReadyLinks emerged as the clear choice for Ziply Fiber, offering a solution that could seamlessly support their ambitious goals.

Challenge

Ziply Fiber acquired a 4 State footprint and set out to offer a world-class fiber service to the great people of the Pacific Northwest. The existing subscriber activation platform proved burdensome, requiring extensive administrative oversight and a large portion of buildings within their footprint had inadequate infrastructure to support fiber service. Recognizing the need for a modern solution that could overcome these challenges and cater to their diverse customer base, Ziply Fiber sought a comprehensive platform that could scale seamlessly across their entire footprint.

Scaling and Investing

Ziply Fiber embraced ReadyLinks as their strategic technology partner to revolutionize their service offerings across their 4 State footprint. They strategically deployed ReadyLinks hardware along with fiber uplinks to key locations, instantly providing a self-activation subscriber platform to nearby addresses. This allowed subscribers to conveniently order fiber optic services, utilizing the existing copper conductors available at each location. ReadyLinks not only facilitated seamless subscriber activation but also empowered the technician workforce. By onboarding technicians and network operations center (NOC) members at various permission levels, Ziply Fiber scaled the system across multiple regions. Field operators efficiently interface with ReadyLinks hardware and subscribers through the cross-platform web application, ReadyView.io, accessible on their existing mobile devices. The flexibility of custom integrations and RESTful API access to all components of the ReadyLinks platform enabled Ziply Fiber to create a best-in-class subscriber activation platform.
Recognizing the opportunity to provide a modern Internet access platform for subscribers and operators, Ziply Fiber made the decision to invest in ReadyLinks across their fiber footprint in 2020. This strategic move addressed their two priorities: winning subscribers in highly competitive markets and establishing a flexible platform for future growth.
