Charter Communications and Oregon Health Network created a broadband fiber network for communities in southern Oregon and Crescent City, Calif. It offers advanced capabilities for video telemedicine, broadband Internet speeds and HD television, the companies said in a news release Wednesday (http://prn.to/KIbsMU). It completes a fiber loop connecting southern Oregon and northern California, they said. They said the network is “the final segment of an 87-mile route from Grants Pass, Ore., to Crescent City, consisting of a 720 GB circuit with capacity to service thousands of people across multiple cities.” The project was funded by a $1.6 million investment, they said.
