Multi-Site Enterprise Networking Every site should perform like the last one.
-
Consistent On-Net Performance
Engineered routes between the locations in our footprint deliver consistent, predictable performance from one site to the next. Where a location sits off-net, we deliver it over Type 2 and manage the carrier so the experience stays as consistent as the underlay allows.
-
One Owner, One Call
When a location degrades, you reach the team accountable for your network instead of chasing the provider behind each site. A single point of contact and one escalation path across your locations, including the carrier coordination on off-net sites.
-
Scales Site by Site
Add locations without rebuilding what you already run on-net. Capacity grows on the routes we own, and new sites connect into the same operating model.
Every site you add is another seam
A multi-site network is only as good as its weakest location. Most enterprises build one site at a time and take whatever last-mile is available in each market, which leaves you with multiple carriers across the footprint and performance that swings from one location to the next.
When a site degrades, you open a ticket with whoever owns that stretch, then wait while they coordinate with whoever owns the next.
The more handoffs you inherit, the harder it gets to see where your traffic actually runs.
How Lightpath approaches it
Density where your sites are
- We own, build and operate fiber across 11 metro markets, with the densest footprint in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic. The network spans more than 12,100 route miles, reaching 17,500+ service locations and 190+ on-net data centers. When your locations cluster in the markets we serve, most of your network rides on-net routes we control end to end.
Honest about the seam
- No enterprise footprint is entirely on-net, and we don’t pretend otherwise. Where your sites extend past our routes, we deliver over Type 2 and coordinate the carrier directly, so you keep one point of contact instead of managing the handoff yourself. Most providers resell what they lease and leave you to chase the seam. We own what we build and own the relationship across the rest.
One operational owner on-net
- When you’re on our network, escalation reaches the engineers responsible for it through a direct path. We support what we build, from design through implementation and beyond.
A scaling path, backed for the long term
- Lightpath has the financial backing of Optimum, with continued investment in route density across the markets we serve. As you add locations, you extend the same network and operating model you already run.
Built on these products
Multi-site connectivity from Lightpath is built from the products below. Each line points you to the product page that fits a given site:
- Private Layer 2: Lightpath links between your locations with service-level agreement (SLA) commitments, point-to-point or any-to-any. Use it when sites need predictable, private connectivity rather than shared internet.
- Private Networks: A managed private network spanning all your sites. Use it when you want unified site-to-site connectivity without operating the underlay yourself.
- Dedicated Internet Access: Dedicated, SLA-backed internet at each location. Use it where sites need reliable public connectivity instead of best-effort broadband.
- FlexNet SD-WAN: A software-defined wide-area network (SD-WAN) overlay across mixed transport. Use it when you’re blending on-net and off-net sites and want centralized control across them.
Case Studies
Don’t take the consistency and accountability claims on faith.
Our engineers can show how your network is built: route maps for your locations, the SLA terms by service where applicable and the escalation model that names who owns your circuit at each stage. For sites delivered over Type 2, that includes how we coordinate the carrier on your behalf. Route maps are proprietary topology, shared through a qualified review under NDA, not an open download.
