Frontier is helping fiber securitization take off
Frontier last August inked a $2.1 billion asset-backed securitization (ABS) deal – the first public company in the U.S. to secure funds backed by fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) assets.
In 2Q25, Frontier reported that it added 334,000 new fiber passings bringing the total to 8.5 million out of a total base of 15.5 million passings. That’s an 18 percent year-over-year increase and puts the company on track to reach its previously stated goal of reaching more than 10 million fiber passings by the end of 2026.
Frontier believes that the traditional U.S. wholesale telecom sales model is outdated. Instead of calling on Enterprises and signing them up for dedicated circuits, one or a few at a time, Frontier aims to understand customers’ business needs and provide long-term solutions with bespoke services and tailored terms and conditions, similar to master lease agreements offered by tower companies and data centers.
