New York City

The network beneath the city that never sleeps.

New York runs on connectivity it cannot see and cannot afford to lose. Lightpath builds and operates the fiber that carries the metro’s most demanding industries, engineered for the density, diversity and uptime this market takes for granted.

Why New York asks more of its network

New York is the headquarters of global finance, media and professional services, with a fast-growing technology and bioscience base. The metro’s traffic converges on a handful of carrier hotels: 60 Hudson Street, 111 Eighth Avenue and 32 Avenue of the Americas, where hundreds of networks meet. Getting in and out of those buildings on physically separate paths is the line between performance and risk.

  • Financial services and capital markets

  • Media, advertising and content

  • Technology, bioscience and professional services
