Fiber Light announces high-capacity network along I-45 in Texas
Fiber Light has announced a network expansion that will bring their fiber footprint to the Red Oak data center area in the Dallas area.
According to Fiber Light’s announcement, the route will connect Corsicana, Red Oak, and South Dallas.
“Texas is seeing a surge in AI infrastructure and data center development, and none of it scales without the fiber to move data quickly and reliably,” said FiberLight CEO Bill Major. “AI and data centers need more than capacity. They need dependable fiber at the foundation of a diversified network, with route diversity to build in redundancy and support cloud, edge, and AI workloads. That’s what we’re building in Red Oak and across West Texas.
Availability for the network is expected in 2027, Fiber Light announced November 3.
