Aggressive Expansion Demonstrates Company's Commitment to Miami
65 Route Miles of Network and Four On-Net Data Centers Planned by End of 2023

NEW YORK and MIAMI, May 15, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Lightpath, an all-fiber, infrastructure-based connectivity provider that is revolutionizing how organizations connect to their digital destinations, today announced an update on its previously released entrance into the Miami market and the rapid buildout of its new, all-fiber network throughout the region.

Lightpath's aggressive Miami expansion includes 65 route miles of network and four on-net data centers by end of 2023

Lightpath's new network in the Miami Central Business District (CBD) is operational and customer ready, including connectivity to two critical data centers located at 50 NE 9^th Street (NAP of the Americas) and 36 NE 2^nd Street (Digital Realty). Miami customers have access to Lightpath connectivity services including Internet, Ethernet, wavelengths, dark fiber, private networks, and direct connectivity to major Cloud providers. Additionally, customers can utilize long-haul services to connect to the entire Lightpath network of over 20,000 route miles serving over 13,500 service locations, including more than 100 data centers and seven cable landing stations.

The company continues to rapidly expand beyond downtown Miami, with network under construction to the north and the west of the CBD. In total, Lightpath expects to have 65 route miles of network connecting four data centers operational by the end of 2023, with an additional five data centers coming on-net in early 2024.

"We are fully committed to the Miami market and the building out of a brand-new network here with brand new glass. The vibrant and rapidly growing business community in Miami deserves a new, modern fiber network that can serve the most challenging demands of organizations of all sizes, including Tier-1 enterprises, governments, educators, other carriers, and hyperscalers," commented Chris Morley, Lightpath's CEO. "Lightpath plans to build wide and deep in Miami and the surrounding region, with a goal of becoming the provider of choice in the market."

Lightpath's entrance into Miami is the second major east coast market that Lightpath has entered in an 18 month period, with its entrance into Boston announced in June 2021. For Miami, Lightpath initially announced a buildout of 55 route miles to be followed by a planned expansion of 80 route miles. With 65 route miles expected to be completed by the end of 2023, Lightpath has already exceeded its original plan for the market made less than six months ago.

Miami Lightpath customers have access to a comprehensive suite of all-fiber connectivity solutions including:

Wavelength services up to 800 Gbps
Ethernet services to 10 Gbps
Internet to 100 Gbps, with local peering
