"This new construction underway marks a significant milestone following Igneo Infrastructure Partners' $200 million investment announced in 2025. At that time, US Signal outlined plans to build more than 1,000 miles of fiber in addition to data center expansions. Today's announcement confirms that those plans are being executed, with approximately 30 percent of the network already complete and the remaining routes scheduled for completion by the beginning of 2027."
"The Ohio and Indiana builds consist of new middle-mile routes constructed with multi-conduit systems and high-count fiber, providing exceptional scalability and long-term flexibility. Unlike overbuilds that rely on existing infrastructure, US Signal's approach emphasizes new construction to ensure durability, performance, and expansion capacity for decades to come. The network directly interconnects US Signal's core data centers while also enabling the development of edge data centers along key routes, bringing compute and connectivity closer to customers and supporting latency-sensitive AI and enterprise applications."
US Signal is actively constructing more than 1,000 miles of new, high-density fiber and conduit across Ohio and Indiana, expanding its middle-mile network to deliver scalable, AI-ready connectivity. The project follows a $200 million investment from Igneo Infrastructure Partners in 2025, with about 30 percent already complete and remaining routes expected by early 2027. New construction uses multi-conduit systems and high-count fiber to maximize scalability, durability, and long-term flexibility rather than overbuilding existing infrastructure. The network will interconnect US Signal's core data centers and enable edge data center development along key routes to support latency-sensitive AI, cloud, and enterprise workloads.
