FiberLight Agrees to Acquire Metro Fiber Networks

Transaction Will Expand FiberLight’s Reach in Virginia and Pave the Way for Expansion to Charlotte, Myrtle Beach, and Atlanta

80+ FiberLight Route Miles

200+ Acquired Route Miles

Excerpt:

Once completed, the transaction will strengthen FiberLight’s substantial existing network in Virginia, adding MFN’s high-capacity conduit and fiber network connecting from the Virginia Beach cable landing station (CLS) to Richmond, VA. Virginia Beach CLS is a major subsea cable landing station supporting TransAtlantic and US-LATAM traffic.

MFN’s route crosses York River and Hampton Harbor. It provides the most direct path and shortest latency between Virginia Beach CLS and Richmond, a substantial hyperscale and government data center availability zone.

MFN’s assets will allow FiberLight to provide a unique and strategic fiber path that will integrate with its existing dense network in Northern Virginia, providing a comprehensive connectivity solution to customers in this critical data transport region.

“This transaction marks a significant milestone for FiberLight as we expand our network to reach Virginia Beach, which hosts the largest defense installation outside of the Pentagon and the largest CLS in the US,” said FiberLight CEO Bill Major. “The MFN assets are a natural extension of our existing network and will allow us to provide customers with reliable, high-speed connectivity services to various organizations in Virginia.”
