Deployment Process
Deployment timelines depend on the route. A connection on existing owned fiber turns up faster than one that needs new construction to reach a site. Here is how the process runs, and where it moves fastest.
How a Lightpath connection gets deployed
Survey and design
- We confirm the route, the building entrances and the diversity available on owned fiber, then finalize the design.
Construction where it is needed
- Where fiber does not yet reach a site, we build it. Construction timelines vary by route, permitting and right-of-way.
Splice and turn-up
- We light the connection and hand off at the agreed capacity.
Acceptance and handoff to support
- We test against the SLA where applicable, then the route moves to NOC monitoring and your support team.
When the route is already in place
Rapidpath
For inter-data-center dark fiber across the New York metro, Greater Boston and Greater Miami, the spans are pre-spliced and OTDR-tested before you order, so Rapidpath can turn up in as few as 15 business days on qualifying routes. Phoenix follows in Q4 2026, with Chicago and Columbus after that.
