Uniti Group Inc. announced a significant network expansion in Huntsville, Alabama. This network expansion, which will span approximately 70 route miles when complete, will support one of its strategic hyperscale customers. Through a recently signed 20 year contract, Uniti is providing multiple conduits and high-strand count fiber to its hyperscale customer in order to connect key data center locations within the Huntsville metropolitan area, as well as tie-in diverse, long-haul routes connecting Huntsville to other regional and national data center markets.

Uniti plans to deliver these fiber routes to its customer over the next two years, and once complete, will own 190 route miles of dark and lit infrastructure within the Huntsville market.
