Lightpath expands NYC metro fiber

Lightpath, a fiber infrastructure company, announced a significant network expansion across the greater NYC metropolitan area, including Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York, and New Jersey. This project involves deploying 265 new route miles of fiber and supporting over 2,400 macro cell tower locations for leading national wireless service providers. The expansion leverages Lightpath's existing high-capacity core backbone infrastructure to deliver 100 Gbps and 400 Gbps aggregation links. Chris Morley, CEO of Lightpath, highlighted the strategy of investing in dense fiber infrastructure and commercializing these assets through multi-customer adoption, which demonstrates long-term return on owned infrastructure. This follows other recent network expansions by Lightpath in various U.S. metro markets.
