What is ONE Burbank?

The City of Burbank is maximizing unused assets in its municipal utility’s fiber network to offer ultra-high-speed connectivity to all city facilities as well as businesses such as media companies transitioning to electronic file-based production and distribution. ONE Burbank is an asset utilization strategy providing the means of generating revenue from this otherwise underutilized capacity while fulfilling customer needs for high speed secure data communications. The program promotes economic development by offering competitively priced service solutions
