The network behind “the Hub’s” hardest problems.
Boston turns research into medicine, capital into returns and ideas into companies. Lightpath builds the fiber underneath, engineered to move the data those breakthroughs depend on.
Boston
Why Boston’s breakthroughs need more from the network
Boston is the world’s life-sciences capital, with hundreds of biotech companies clustered around Harvard, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the Cambridge and Longwood campuses, plus a deep financial-services and research base. Genomics, drug discovery and research computing move enormous datasets, and Boston sits on some of the shortest fiber routes from the United States to Europe. The market’s networks converge at One Summer Street, the region’s primary carrier hotel.
