What's
happening?
LISCO was awarded approximately $13
million in loans from the RUS (Rural
Utilities Service) to install high
speed broadband technology via Fiber-to-the-Premise
(FTTP) to every home and business
in Fairfield, Iowa. Over this optical
fiber infrastructure, LISCO now delivers
television, internet, and phone services,
all of superior quality and better
value than any competitor. Fairfield
residents with fiber optic connections
enjoy a whole new level of telecommunication
services, equal to or better than
any city in the United States.
What’s
optical fiber?
Optical fiber is the new American
standard for the most advanced high
speed broadband telecommunication
technology. Long, fine strands of
glass carry information on beams of
light. Compared to metallic wire,
optical fiber carries thousands of
times more information. Since it uses
light, not electrical energy, it is
not susceptible to lightning or "cross
talk" interference between wires
in the same cable. It’s inherently
protected from power surges, static,
noise, and hum. It’s also more
secure. Conversations on fiber are
immune to electronic eavesdropping.
And it’s reliable. Unlike metal,
optical fiber doesn't corrode. A communication
system based on optical fiber is much
easier to maintain.
What’s
high speed broadband FTTP?
FTTP stands for Fiber-to-the-Premise.
In the U.S., optical fiber already
connects many towns and cities. But
within the towns, the connection to
the homes and businesses is via old,
limited copper-wire technology dating
back to 1876. LISCO is replacing this
old, out of date technology with strands
of fiber running to every home and
business in Fairfield. Experts say
developing this kind of high speed
broadband infrastructure is critical
for America to stay competitive in
the global economy.

What are the
benefits of LISCO Fiber to southeast
Iowa?
We are well
into the Information Age, an age in
which globalization is a dominant
force in the economy. We also are
coming out of one of the most difficult
economic periods in the history of
the country. Fairfield, like other
towns, has experienced these changes
and many local companies have been
able to reposition themselves to compete
more effectively in the global economy
because of LISCO Fiber. Fairfield
will continue to prosper because it
has broadband technology to support
innovation, creativity, and entrepreneurial
skills.
LISCO Fiber has positioned Fairfield
to better compete in the global economy.
LISCO Fiber can provide businesses
in Fairfield with a global reach second
to none. LISCO Fiber makes Fairfield
attractive to new businesses and gives
existing ones a boost. Scores of testimonials
acknowledge LISCO’s experience
in providing and supporting broadband
expansion in Iowa.
LISCO Fiber plays a vital role in
the health of the local economy. In
the Information Age, all progressive
communities will need high speed broadband
technology to continue to prosper.
In the 19th century, a town’s
future depended on the railroad coming
there. In the 20th century, the nation
was transformed, especially rural
areas, through electrification. In
the 21st century, the future depends
on access to high speed broadband
technology especially through fiber
optic connections.
