Lightpath, an all-fibre and infrastructure-based connectivity provider, has announced it’s continuing its aggressive expansion in the Greater Miami region by adding connectivity to eight new data centres, adding 15 miles of new fibre network, and introducing a new RapidPath dark fibre service to area data centres.
Lightpath’s latest network expansion in the Miami area includes adding eight new data centres to its network, for a total of 12 on-net data centres by the end of 2024. Lightpath will be offering RapidPath dark fibre between Miami data centres, with pre-spliced inter-data centre fibre spans ready for ultra-fast deployment.
In addition, the company is building a new, 15-mile expansion of high-fibre count, subterranean network toward North Miami Beach and west to Miami Gardens.
“Lightpath is seeing increased demand in the Miami region for data centre connectivity, both data centre-to-data centre, and commercial buildings to data centres. Both types of demand are being driven by the surge in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the need for direct connectivity to cloud providers,” said Chris Morley, CEO of Lightpath. “Our new RapidPath service is just another way that Lightpath is meeting the evolving demands of hyperscalers and other large organisations who need ways to scale quickly to meet the dynamics of the market.”
RapidPath dark fibre
Lightpath’s new RapidPath service offers ultra-fast deployment of dark fibre between data centres. In addition to Miami area data centres, RapidPath is also available between data centres in New York Metro and Greater Boston.
Hyperscalers, enterprises, governments and carriers can all benefit from RapidPath’s pre-spliced dark fibre between data centres which offers provisioning in as fast as five days, as well as a complete suite of all-fibre connectivity solutions to Miami-area customers. Area customers can connect anywhere on the Lightpath Network throughout New York Metro and Boston Metro, as well as the data centre-rich region around Ashburn, VA.
Lightpath currently offers connectivity to over 140 data centres, seven cable landing stations and direct connectivity to all major cloud service providers at various interconnect locations.
