NEW YORK and MIAMI, Oct. 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Lightpath, an all-fiber, infrastructure-based connectivity provider that is revolutionizing how organizations connect to their digital destinations, announced it is continuing its aggressive expansion in the Greater Miami region by adding connectivity to eight new data centers, adding 15-miles of new fiber network, and introducing a new RapidPath dark fiber service to area data centers.

Lightpath adds connectivity to eight new data centers, 15 miles of fiber network, and new dark fiber service in Miami.

Lightpath's latest network expansion in the Miami area includes adding eight new data centers to its network, for a total of 12 on-net data centers by the end of 2024.
