Zayo has announced plans to construct over 5,000 long-haul fiber miles to meet the surging demand for AI workloads, as American data centers are expected to see a 2-6X increase in capacity over five years. As the sole major provider undertaking long-haul network expansions in the last decade, Zayo's strategies include five new routes and seven overbuilds to enhance connectivity between key data centers. Their investments respond to the significant $1 billion in AI-related deals from 2024 and aim to support rapid scaling amidst heightened demand.
"Keeping pace with the next wave of AI growth will require new long-haul networks to enable the rapid scaling of capacity needs in both existing and emerging AI data center markets."
"In 2024, Zayo saw significant AI-driven demand for long-haul routes, including more than $1 billion in AI-related deals and an additional $3 billion in pipeline."
