FiberLight has announced a new high-capacity fiber network route along the I-45 corridor in Texas, connecting Corsicana, Red Oak, and South Dallas.
The new route adds geographic diversity to FiberLight’s network, providing an additional path into Dallas-Fort Worth while expanding routing options between the Mansfield and Red Oak areas, DFW, and Central and South Texas. These diverse paths can support cross-border applications and the high-capacity connectivity needs of data center operators, wholesale carriers, enterprises, and other organizations as AI workloads and data center development accelerate across Texas.
The expansion builds on FiberLight’s continued investment in Texas to meet growing demand for reliable, high-capacity, and geographically diverse connectivity. Recent initiatives include a new West Texas corridor extending from Midland toward El Paso and a nearly $500 million investment in West Texas network infrastructure.
Together, these projects strengthen FiberLight’s network footprint across Texas, extending connectivity into emerging data center markets and providing additional routing options for regional and cross-border traffic.
“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. We follow the market, listen to customers, and invest where connectivity is needed. The goal is simple: give businesses more ways to connect, scale, and stay resilient as demand grows.”
