FirstLight Fiber has completed its acquisition of New Hampshire-based G4 Communications, including G4’s customer base and data center located at 77 Sundial in Manchester, New Hampshire.
FirstLight’s fiber-optic network spans 190,000 fiber miles throughout New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts and New York. With the acquisition of G4, FirstLight now operates five data center facilities (three facilities located in New Hampshire, one in Vermont and one in New York), serving the needs of wholesale and business customers throughout the Northeast.
FirstLight’s local team, operating out of its main New Hampshire offices in Nashua and Manchester as well as several other locations throughout the state, will support G4’s customer base.
“This is a significant transaction for FirstLight, our customers, and the entire region,” said Kurt Van Wagenen, president and CEO of FirstLight. “The G4 assets, paired with FirstLight’s existing network and capabilities, strengthen our presence in New Hampshire and will translate to higher quality service and support for our customers. The transaction benefits leading enterprises throughout New Hampshire, including healthcare organizations, financial institutions, government agencies and educational institutions. We are excited to welcome the talented G4 staff to FirstLight, and we plan to continue offering the same high level of local service and support that their customers have come to expect.”
“G4’s assets are a natural fit for FirstLight,” added Gent Cav, founder and president of G4 Communications. “As part of FirstLight, G4 is better able to bring fiber-based broadband data, Internet and telephony services to customers throughout New Hampshire. We look forward to FirstLight’s continued success in this state.”
