The network behind the Silicon Heartland.
Central Ohio has become one of the country’s fastest-growing markets for hyperscale and AI capacity. Lightpath builds the metro fiber that connects the enterprises and operations rising alongside it.
Columbus
Why Columbus is scaling fast
Columbus pairs a diversified economy in insurance, financial services, healthcare distribution and a major research university with one of the most active hyperscale build-outs in the country. Cloud and AI operators have committed billions to central Ohio, and a major semiconductor investment is coming to the region, putting connectivity demand on a steep curve.
