FiberLight LLC, a fiber infrastructure provider with more than 20 years of experience building and operating mission-critical, high-bandwidth networks. The company has a proven track record in connecting underserved communities and delivering fiber across its network to ignite digital transformation. And, it is positioned to help local municipalities access this funding. Led by a team of seasoned professionals, FiberLight’s Public Sector division specializes in connecting municipalities, school districts, health care clinics, hospitals, and government entities with the resources needed to build out dark fiber networks and deliver broadband access. “We are passionate about raising awareness, forging partnerships, and helping our communities connect with next-generation technology,” said Chris Rabii, CEO of FiberLight. While FiberLight’s Public Sector team works to bridge the digital divide, the company continues to build upon its solid foundation, expanding and improving its network across Florida, Georgia, Maryland, Texas, Virginia and the Washington D.C. markets. FiberLight celebrated significant milestones in 2021, including: • A partnership with Encompass North America in Katy, Texas, to bring its high bandwidth connectivity to previously underserved areas in southern Texas. FiberLight was responsible for connecting one data center and three towers so residents in Fulshear, Simonton and Wallis can receive high-speed internet access through Encompass North America. • A network expansion of more than 980 route miles of fiber enabling increased speed, diversity, and exceptional bandwidth. With more than 90 percent of its fiber buried 3 ½ feet underground, FiberLight continues to provide increased security and reliability as its network grows • Addition of 18 new data centers, core PoPs, and carrier hotels that provide connectivity where customers want to be. Dense data center connections empower customers to maximize network performance and achieve business goals faster • 452 new buildings became active in 2021, adding to FiberLight’s network of fiberconnected facilities • Upgrading its 100G Texas Express Network between Austin, Dallas and Houston to provide a fully protected, multi-terabit system. This enhancement facilitates inherent core protection and route ability enabling data traffic to deliver via the fastest route automatically. “We are very optimistic headed into the new year,” said Will Sears, Chief Revenue Officer of FiberLight. “We have invested in a high-capacity, diverse, dense network that delivers secure and reliable connectivity.
