"LOMBARD, Ill. - October 21, 2025 - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Crosstown Fiber LLC (Crosstown Fiber), a fiber optic infrastructure developer specializing in the design and construction of high-capacity fiber networks, today announced the expansion of its western route connecting Aurora to downtown Chicago, offering enterprises the infrastructure foundation needed for reliability, security, and long-term scalability. Critical network vulnerabilities in the Chicago-Aurora corridor have left enterprises dependent on limited route options, creating single points of failure that threaten business continuity and undermine the region's digital infrastructure resilience."
""Our Aurora route is a strategic response to mounting customer demand for genuine redundancy," said Eric Nickla, Chief Revenue Officer of Crosstown Fiber. "We're seeing enterprises increasingly require multiple physically diverse paths, not just multiple providers using the same infrastructure. This route delivers that independence and positions Chicago businesses to compete more effectively in an AI-driven economy that demands zero-tolerance connectivity.""
Crosstown Fiber expanded its western route with a new 45-mile (72.5-kilometer) independent underground fiber link between 350 Cermak in Chicago and 2905 Diehl Road in Aurora. The route provides complete physical diversity to mitigate single points of failure in the Chicago–Aurora corridor and improve regional network resiliency. The expansion delivers low-latency connectivity suitable for financial trading, cloud services, and data center interconnection while increasing available bandwidth to meet growing demand. The route prioritizes reliability and security through an underground design and supports enterprise requirements for multiple physically diverse paths to enable long-term scalability and continuity.
