Lightpath has announced it will provide its fiber infrastructure to support two hyperscale data center campuses under construction.The company noted that each campus is planned to exceed one gigawatt of capacity. The campuses are located in Saline, Michigan, and Port Washington, Wisconsin.As such, Lightpath will provide fiber infrastructure and multi-terabit capacity to the two facilities.Lightpath owns, builds, and operates an all-fiber network across eleven major US metro markets. This fiber network provides high-capacity, low-latency connectivity for cloud, hyperscale, data center, and mission-critical enterprise workloads.The Saline build is set to be delivered by the end of this year, with Port Washington following in the second quarter of 2027. Both builds are being delivered in partnership with an anchor hyperscale customer, though Lightpath didn't name the customer.“Lightpath is playing an increasingly central role in partnering with hyperscalers to build new fiber infrastructure to address AI-driven demand across the US,” said Chris Morley, CEO of Lightpath. “Fiber infrastructure remains a critical component in the evolving and accelerating AI ecosystem.”In May, the company expanded its New York fiber network to more than 2,400 macro cell tower locations across Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York, and New Jersey. Earlier in the month, Lightpath also secured an anchor award to construct new long-haul fiber infrastructure that will connect Columbus, Ohio, and Chicago, Illinois.Other recent builds include Lightpath’s expansion of mission-critical, AI-grade fiber infrastructure across Phoenix and eastern Pennsylvania.“Gigawatt-scale AI campuses need more than fiber in the ground; they need a partner that can engineer an end-to-end connectivity solution across new construction, existing Lightpath network assets, and strategic partner fiber,” added Tim Haverkate, chief commercial officer at Lightpath.“Our ability to creatively combine those assets is what allows us to deliver route-diverse, multi-terabit capacity on timelines that match the pace of hyperscale AI development.”
