Uniti Group announces significant network expansion in Alabama

Uniti Group announces a significant network expansion in Huntsville, Alabama, one of Uniti’s existing 30 enterprise markets. 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. “We are excited to expand our relationship with this existing hyperscale customer in one of the fastest growing cities in the country,” said Greg Ortyl, Uniti’s President of Wholesale & Strategic Accounts. “With the explosion of generative Artificial Intelligence applications and the related power requirements, we have seen Uniti’s southeastern tier-two and tier-three markets become more attractive to the hyperscaler segment as they identify areas with excess power availability.”
