Leading fiber optic communications infrastructure provider, Gigabit Fiber, today announced a significant majority investment from Blue Owl Capital’s Digital Infrastructure strategy. This partnership will fuel Gigabit Fiber’s accelerated growth to meet the surging demand for high-speed fiber connectivity, specifically for hyperscale data centers, AI applications, and cloud services.

The Dallas-based company currently operates approximately 500 route miles of conduit and high-count fiber networks, connecting over 50 data centers across Texas (Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin, El Paso, San Antonio, South Texas). This new investment by Blue Owl will dramatically expand Gigabit Fiber’s footprint across Texas and New Mexico, solidifying its position as the preferred provider for hyperscalers.

Tom Spackman, who will continue as Chairman and CEO, expressed enthusiasm for the news, stating, “We are excited to welcome Blue Owl into our 25-year partnership and look forward to leveraging their expertise and capital to accelerate our growth and expand our network reach.”

This collaboration marks a pivotal moment for Gigabit Fiber, promising enhanced connectivity solutions for hundreds of clients, including major hyperscalers, carriers, enterprises, and institutions.
