DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Frontier (NASDAQ: FYBR):

What happened: Frontier has earned a spot on Fortune’s 2025 list of America’s Most Innovative Companies. This prestigious list recognizes U.S. companies that are transforming industries from the inside out.

Why it matters: We’re building the digital infrastructure that the U.S. needs to compete and lead for generations to come. Today, we are the largest pure-play fiber internet provider in the country, providing access to high-speed, reliable connectivity to nearly 8 million homes and businesses. This award is a testament to our commitment to advancing our purpose of Building Gigabit America, connecting more people to our fiber technology and all the opportunities it offers.

We create the future: We continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible with our network for the benefit of our customers and society. That means constantly testing and launching new technologies to improve customer service and unleash the full potential of our fiber network. In doing so, we’ve set new industry standards—launching network-wide 2 Gig speeds, followed by 5 Gig, and most recently, 7 Gig—and earned more patents for innovations in the last three years than in our company’s entire history.

Quote: "We’re proud to be recognized for the power of our fiber technology and our culture of innovation, alongside a list of America’s greatest companies,” said Nick Jeffery, CEO of Frontier Communications. “Over the last four years, we’ve connected millions of homes and businesses to reliable high-speed fiber internet, unlocking opportunities for our customers to shape the future in ways we can’t yet imagine. We’re putting innovation in the hands of consumers and businesses, and we can’t wait to see what they do with it. Our work Building Gigabit America will have a lasting impact that extends beyond telecom—from healthcare to education and more.”

How we made Fortune’s list: Fortune teamed up with market research and data firm Statista to select America’s Most Innovative Companies based on product innovation, process innovation and innovation culture. Statista’s evaluation process included online surveys where employees could score their own company on a scale system, surveys of experts in various fields and a partnership with LexisNexis PatentSight to analyze the quantity and value of patents.
