Commitment to Miami
65 Route Miles of Network and Four On-Net Data Centers Planned by
End of 2023
NEW
YORK and MIAMI,
May 15,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Lightpath, an all-fiber,
infrastructure-based connectivity provider that is revolutionizing
how organizations connect to their digital destinations, today
announced an update on its previously released entrance into the
Miami market and the rapid
buildout of its new, all-fiber network throughout the region.
Lightpath's aggressive Miami expansion includes 65 route miles of
network and four on-net data centers by end of 2023
Lightpath's new network in the Miami Central Business District
(CBD) is operational and customer ready, including connectivity to
two critical data centers located at 50 NE 9th Street
(NAP of the Americas) and 36 NE 2nd Street (Digital
Realty). Miami customers have
access to Lightpath connectivity services including Internet,
Ethernet, wavelengths, dark fiber, private networks, and direct
connectivity to major Cloud providers. Additionally, customers can
utilize long-haul services to connect to the entire Lightpath
network of over 20,000 route miles serving over 13,500 service
locations, including more than 100 data centers and seven cable
landing stations.
The company continues to rapidly expand beyond downtown
Miami, with network under
construction to the north and the west of the CBD. In total,
Lightpath expects to have 65 route miles of network connecting four
data centers operational by the end of 2023, with an additional
five data centers coming on-net in early 2024.
"We are fully committed to the Miami market and the building out of a
brand-new network here with brand new glass. The vibrant and
rapidly growing business community in Miami deserves a new, modern fiber network
that can serve the most challenging demands of organizations of all
sizes, including Tier-1 enterprises, governments, educators, other
carriers, and hyperscalers," commented Chris Morley, Lightpath's CEO. "Lightpath plans
to build wide and deep in Miami
and the surrounding region, with a goal of becoming the provider of
choice in the market."
Lightpath's entrance into Miami
is the second major east coast market that Lightpath has entered in
an 18 month period, with its entrance into Boston announced in June 2021. For Miami, Lightpath initially announced a
buildout of 55 route miles to be followed by a planned expansion of
80 route miles. With 65 route miles expected to be completed by the
end of 2023, Lightpath has already exceeded its original plan for
the market made less than six months ago.

of all-fiber connectivity solutions including:
- Wavelength services up to 800 Gbps
- Ethernet services to 10 Gbps
- Internet to 100 Gbps, with local peering
