Citizens Communications Company has reached agreement with the Burnsville City Council to deploy its Frontier Mobile wireless broadband data service throughout the city. Burnsville joins Cookeville, TN.; Carlinville, IL.; the city and county of Elko, NV.; and the State University of New York in Orange County as customers of Frontier Mobile’s wireless broadband network.

This new wireless data offering is a valuable addition to Frontier Communications’ existing suite of voice, video and high-speed Internet products and services, all fully integrated on a single bill. Citywide wireless broadband access with Frontier Mobile will allow Burnsville residents, businesses and visitors to have Internet access at home, in the office and on the go.

The company’s agreement with Burnsville, as with its other agreements mentioned previously, allows for scalable, cost-efficient additions designed to expand network coverage as needed. The Burnsville Council, led by Mayor Elizabeth Kautz, approved granting Frontier access to rights-of-way and city facilities on which to locate equipment. The use of city-owned infrastructure for networks helps to ensure maximum coverage within the city.

According to Mayor Kautz, “Our relationship with Frontier Communications is a first step in achieving our goal to be competitive globally on the telecommunications front; it will also meet our goal to make available to our citizens a broadband Internet choice that is affordable for them. We are delighted with our partnership with Frontier Communications and look forward to a very successful relationship.”

Citizens Communications Company also announced earlier that it will provide citywide access in select markets in Illinois and Tennessee: Cookeville, TN and Carlinville, IL. These deployments join the city and county of Elko, NV and the State University of New York in Orange County as customers of Frontier Mobile’s public wireless broadband network.
