The project adds approximately 100 route miles of new fiber across Long Island, southern Connecticut, northern New Jersey, and Westchester County, extending Lightpath's already dense regional footprint. The expansion is part of a multi-phase deployment that leverages Lightpath's existing on-net infrastructure - roughly 70% of the project utilizes routes built over the past three years for other national carriers - demonstrating the company's ability to scale quickly and cost-efficiently while enabling next-generation wireless and enterprise connectivity. "Delivering ahead of schedule is becoming a hallmark of Lightpath," said Chris Morley, CEO of Lightpath.

The newly added routes support 5G and AI-driven network deployments, providing high-capacity backhaul and aggregation for bandwidth-intensive applications.
