Bandwidth IG Atlanta Dark Fiber Expansion

Bandwidth IG Launches Major Dark Fiber Expansion in Greater Atlanta

Hot on the heels of Amazon Web Services’ $11 billion investment in Georgia, Bandwidth IG announces its own major commitment to the state’s digital future that will revolutionize the region’s infrastructure and empower cutting-edge technologies like AI and cloud computing. 

BIG is expanding its Greater Atlanta dark fiber network with the addition of 170 route miles, more than doubling its footprint in the area to 330 route miles and redefining the region’s digital connectivity. 

Bridging the Digital Divide in the Atlanta Area

Major investments in digital infrastructure, including innovation hubs and data center campuses, are expanding further outside of the major downtown Atlanta business district, creating a critical need for digital infrastructure services in more areas. BIG’s expansion will deliver AI-ready fiber infrastructure to additional counties and densify its network in counties where it already has a presence. This unprecedented project adds essential middle-mile connectivity to these emerging areas that will benefit local economies for decades to come.

“Enterprises and hyperscalers are making large investments in artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and other data-intensive technologies that are transforming our lives at work and at home. BIG will continue to be an agile dark fiber provider that empowers our customers to deliver new technologies in Georgia along with our additional markets,” said Bruce Garrison, CEO of BIG.

A Growing Atlanta Technology Ecosystem

As Atlanta’s tech ecosystem continues to thrive, businesses and communities stand to benefit significantly from improved dark fiber infrastructure. Increasing access to best-in-class fiber infrastructure continues to be a driver of economic growth. Construction of BIG’s network expansion is underway with the first segment expected to be complete by Q3 2025. BIG’s ongoing investment will further solidify Greater Atlanta as a global leader in technology and innovation.
