Zayo and NVIDIA are collaborating to expand long-haul and metro fiber infrastructure across North America to support distributed AI data centers, building six new long-haul routes and overbuilding in key corridors to connect emerging AI hubs where power is abundant but connectivity is limited.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Deep Tech: Telecom & Connectivity.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You must re-evaluate site connectivity as AI moves to power-rich but fiber-thin regions; getting ahead on network capacity is the key to competing in new AI corridors where fibre still lags power availability.
