Lightpath, a leading provider of AI-grade digital infrastructure and connectivity solutions, today announced a significant milestone in the Greater Columbus market with the award of its third significant network expansion. The continued investment reflects sustained hyperscaler demand for robust, AI-ready connectivity as high-capacity, reliable networks become essential for next-generation workloads.
The new award builds on a network already under construction, adding 55 route miles of 100% underground, multi-conduit fiber extending southwest of Columbus toward Cincinnati. With this expansion, Lightpath’s network under construction in the Greater Columbus region now totals 304 route miles, reinforcing its commitment to delivering the low latency, massive bandwidth, and reliability required for production-grade AI and mission-critical data center operations.
This expansion is part of Lightpath’s broader strategy to build dense, all-fiber infrastructure across key U.S. markets. For more than 30 years, Lightpath has supported enterprises, governments, and educational institutions with scalable, production-ready connectivity, including Dedicated Internet Access backed by a 99.9% availability guarantee, delivering the secure, future-ready capacity customers need to stay ahead.
