Lightpath has been chosen by MiCTA as an approved vendor for its internet, ethernet, wavelengths, dark fiber, private networks, voice, and all of the company’s managed service offerings. 

Based in Saginaw, Michigan, MiCTA is a national, nonprofit group purchasing organization. Through a Master Service Agreement between the two organizations, Lightpath’s services are available to MiCTA members at a discounted rate. 

MiCTA selected Lightpath’s proposal through the course of a thorough RFP process that includes an assessment of Lightpath’s offerings. MiCTA members can achieve significant savings by partnering with approved vendors, while also avoiding the high cost and lengthy process of conducting their own RFPs.

“MiCTA is pleased to welcome Lightpath as an Approved MiCTA vendor,” said Tim von Hoff, Chief Operating Officer of MiCTA. “A volunteer committee selected Lightpath through a highly competitive screening process to provide an array of the highest quality communications services to its members.” 

“For more than three decades, Lightpath has served as a fiber connectivity provider-of-choice in some of the most robust and demanding markets in the country,” said Doug Turtz, Chief Revenue Officer of Lightpath. “Our customers in the education, government, and healthcare sectors come to us for solutions that solve some of the most challenging connectivity needs. We are gratified to be able to bring these solutions to MiCTA members.”
