Lightower Fiber Networks expands in Detroit

Detroit Metro is home to more than 300,000 businesses and presently experiencing a revitalisation through technology. Lightower’s further investment and expansion in the region emphasises its commitment to bringing all-fibre solutions to the areas that demand high-performance networking.

Doug Dalissandro, chief revenue officer for Lightower Fiber Networks said: “Lightower has been serving Michigan and greater Detroit for many years. We have a lot of fibre in place to provide services to businesses today, and we plan to aggressively add more network and service locations moving forward.

Dalissandro said: “This latest investment in Michigan by Lightower is simply a result of the overall demand we are seeing from companies here that need high-performance networking infrastructure. Greater Detroit is quickly becoming a technology-centric market where fibre networking is being used to accelerate the operations of old and new industries alike. We are excited to be a part of this continued growth.”

Lightower provides customised, high-performance networking, with services including Ethernet, wavelengths, dedicated Internet access and managed private optical networks.
