"Fiber provider FiberLight LLC says that it is building approximately 1,000 fiber miles in West Texas and making a $150 million investment in its network there. The investment includes upgrading a portion of the network to accommodate large-scale data centers and the middle mile network. This will support regional and local carriers and public institutions, according to the company."
""West Texas has been an important proving ground for our team to demonstrate both our company's ethos in connecting underserved communities as well as our technical capabilities," FiberLight CEO Bill Major said in a press release. "Delivering fiber to the area's Region 16 school district speaks to our mission to enrich communities with world-class broadband capabilities while being instrumental in fulfilling the bigger, shared goal in the AI [artificial intelligence] race puts us at the epicenter of transformational change.""
"FiberLight says that it has approximately 20,000 route miles of fiber networks and 300,000 pre-qualified near-net buildings. It has a presence in the Texas Panhandle, where it was selected to provide technical assets and expertise for a 10 Gbps fiber network serving the Region 16 Education Services Center (ESC). It is an E-rate project. In April, it entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Metro Fiber Networks in Virginia. The goal was to gain a path crossing the York River and Hampton Harbor to connect the Virginia Beach Cable Landing Station and Richmond. The press release says that the cable landing station supports trans-Atlantic and U.S.-Latin America traffic."
