The country’s leading cell carriers trust Aureon’s fiber network to connect towers and small cell nodes across the Midwest. High-capacity, low-latency transport built for 4G, LTE, and 5G.
Purpose-Built Fiber for the Wireless Networks Your Customers Depend On
Cell towers and small cell nodes don’t move traffic on their own. Behind every call, stream, and data transfer is a fiber connection carrying it back to the core network. Aureon’s Midwest fiber gets that connection to the tower, so carriers have the capacity they need and subscribers never notice the difference.
What We Deliver
Dedicated fiber transport solutions designed around the operational demands of wireless carriers and network operators.
Wireless Backhaul
Dedicated fiber transport from cell tower to carrier core. Aureon delivers the bandwidth and reliability that 4G, LTE, and 5G tower sites demand, backed by an SLA and 24/7/365 NOC monitoring.
- Fiber to the tower across the Midwest
- Scales from 10 Mbps to 100 Gbps per site
- Low-latency transport for voice and data traffic
- Ethernet Private Line (EPL) and EVPL options
- Redundant paths available for critical sites
- 24/7/365 monitoring and rapid fault response
Small Cell Connectivity
Dense urban environments demand dense fiber. Aureon's Midwest network supports rapid small cell deployment by providing fiber backhaul to closely spaced nodes in corridors, campuses, and high-traffic areas where macro cells fall short.
- Fiber backhaul for urban and suburban small cells
- Supports high-density 5G node deployments
- Offloads macro cell congestion in high-traffic areas
- Rapid provisioning for new node locations
- Scalable bandwidth per node as traffic grows
- Integrates with existing carrier infrastructure

Frequently Asked Questions
Wireless backhaul is the transport layer that carries traffic from a cell tower or small cell node back to the carrier core network. Fiber is the preferred medium because it delivers the high bandwidth and low latency that 4G LTE and 5G networks require. Aureon provides dedicated fiber transport directly to tower sites across our Midwest network.
Aureon supports Ethernet Private Line (EPL), EVPL, and dedicated fiber circuits for tower backhaul. Bandwidth scales from 10 Mbps to 100 Gbps depending on site requirements. All backhaul circuits are delivered over owned or partnered fiber infrastructure with a 99.99% uptime SLA and 24/7/365 NOC monitoring.
Macro cell sites are high-power towers covering large geographic areas. Small cells are low-power nodes deployed in dense environments to fill coverage gaps and offload traffic. Small cells require fiber connections at many closely spaced locations. Aureon's dense Midwest fiber network supports rapid small cell deployment across metro and suburban environments.
Yes. Aureon's fiber network is built to support the low-latency and high-bandwidth demands of 5G. Circuits scale to meet 5G NR throughput requirements and our NOC provides continuous monitoring to maintain the performance standards 5G networks depend on.
Aureon's owned fiber network spans Iowa and the greater Midwest, with partner carrier relationships extending coverage nationwide. We serve tower sites throughout the region and can source last-mile connectivity to locations beyond our direct footprint through established carrier partnerships.
Aureon provides a 99.99% uptime SLA on backhaul circuits backed by 24/7/365 NOC monitoring and rapid incident response. Financial credits apply if uptime falls below the committed threshold. Specific terms are defined in each service agreement.
