Lightpath, a 100% fiber infrastructure company operating 12,100 route miles of AI-grade networks across 10 U.S. metro markets, today announced its entry into Greater Atlanta metropolitan, bringing high-capacity Managed Bandwidth services to one of North America's largest data center markets.

Atlanta has emerged as one of the fastest-growing data center markets in the country. Enterprises and hyperscalers operating in the market increasingly require dedicated, high-capacity optical transport — for AI workloads, cloud interconnection and large-scale data movement. Lightpath now offers Atlanta-area customers Wavelength and IP Transit services from 10 Gbps to 800 Gbps per wavelength, with aggregate system capacity scaling into multi-terabit configurations, to meet that demand.

Lightpath operates a long-haul network hub in Atlanta connected to New York, Philadelphia, Ashburn, Chicago, Dallas and Miami. The Atlanta entry compliments Lightpath's national backbone with high-capacity managed connectivity delivered over 100% underground fiber infrastructure to 30 data center campuses in the market.

"Atlanta is one of the fastest-growing data center markets in the country, and demand for high-capacity managed bandwidth continues to accelerate," said Chris Morley, CEO of Lightpath. "Entering this market connects this growing ecosystem to our national backbone, giving customers a direct path to the intensive capacity that AI and cloud workloads require."

The move advances Lightpath's deliberate metro expansion strategy — entering and densifying the largest U.S. economic markets — and deepens the company's position in a market central to AI and cloud growth.

"Our customers need optical transport that scales with their workloads," said Tim Haverkate, Chief Commercial Officer at Lightpath. "By pairing our long-haul backbone with high-capacity managed Wavelength and IP Transit services, we give Atlanta-area customers a single, trusted path to the bandwidth their businesses demand."
