eX² Technology, the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT), and the Arizona Commerce Authority (ACA) will lease dark fiber along ADOT's Interstate 17 - under the 20-year Indefeasible Right of Use agreement - to Cox Communications. This 141-mile fiber segment leased by Cox will directly support the existing Schools and Libraries Program (E-rate) aimed at connecting Arizona schools and educational institutions along the I-17 corridor. The agreement comes on the heels for eX² Technology's first dark fiber commercialization agreement with Wecom Fiber, announced in late July.
