SierraIG Launches as Mexico’s First Pure-Play Dark Fiber Provider

As Mexico’s tech landscape heats up, a new player is ready to light up the scene with cutting-edge fiber networks and scalable infrastructure. SierraIG, a joint venture between SummitIG and Neutral Networks has officially launched, marking a significant advancement in Mexico’s connectivity capabilities. This new venture is dedicated to building robust, underground fiber networks, beginning with key markets in Querétaro and Monterrey. This initiative also represents SummitIG’s first foray into international operations, with the company holding a majority stake in SierraIG.

SierraIG will utilize the current fiber assets to data centers from Neutral Networks and has plans to expand its network infrastructure platform to 750 km, with an investment of $50 million. SierraIG will provide custom dark fiber connectivity solutions between data centers for hyperscalers, cloud and content service providers, large enterprises, and both national and international carriers in Mexico. The network will provide unparalleled quality through unique and diverse routes, backed by a team with over 30 years of industry experience.

“SierraIG aligns the best-in-class resources and relationships across both organizations, SummitIG will provide growth capital and deep understanding of architecting and constructing critical digital infrastructure assets while Neutral Networks will provide local expertise and knowledge in delivering and operating networks in the region. We are thrilled to partner with Neutral Networks on this venture and be a catalyst for data center growth in Mexico.” – Sunny Kumar, CEO of SummitIG

SierraIG is poised to meet these needs, backed by a team with substantial depth and breadth of industry experience.

“Mexico has an unprecedented opportunity to establish itself as one of the major Data Center hubs in Latin America, and both industry and government officials need to work together to make this happen. With SummitIG’s proven track record of designing and managing dense dark fiber infrastructure platforms, we are very pleased to partner with SummitIG and capitalize on this generational opportunity in the country.”Gabriel Navarro, CEO of Neutral Networks
