Wholesale isn’t the back office of telecom. It’s the engine of digital economies. Every fiber route we connect and every interconnection we enable strengthens not just networks but the economies and industries they power. From cross-border connectivity to cloud enablement, wholesale is where infrastructure turns into impact and where regional collaboration creates real value. As leaders, our role isn’t just to build. It’s to connect. To align. To make sure every step forward in telecom opens a door for the next generation of innovators, platforms, and economies. This is how we move from infrastructure to lasting outcomes ✌️ #TelecomLeadership #WholesaleStrategy #RegionalConnectivity #DigitalInfrastructure

Gigabit Fiber and DataBank Expand Strategic Partnership with Long-Term Lease Extension Expansion at 400 S. Akard to Support High-Density, Next-Gen Network Infrastructure   DALLAS - March 31, 2025 - Gigabit Fiber, a Dallas-based metro fiber provider, and DataBank, a leading provider of enterprise-class data centers, today announced the extension of their long-term lease agreement at 400 S. Akard in downtown Dallas, Texas. The expanded agreement includes additional space and power, reinforcing the companies' deepening commercial relationship. As part of the lease extension, Gigabit Fiber will develop a state-of-the-art office, lab, and hyper-connected data center environment. The upgraded facility will serve as a key hub for Gigabit's most important personnel and network operations. The investment also includes the deployment of a multi-million-dollar, next-generation optical network engineered to support the growing demands of cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and ultra-low-latency high-capacity connectivity. This network interconnects over 40 data centers throughout the Dallas metroplex, providing on-demand IP transit, wave, and dark fiber services. The meet-me room at 400 S. Akard, known for its exceptional "data gravity," will be further enhanced by Gigabit's network, amplifying the rich digital ecosystem already in place. "Our commercial relationship with DataBank began in 2002 and has steadily grown over the past two decades," said Tom Spackman, CEO of Gigabit Fiber. "Our renewed, long-term commitment to 400 S. Akard is a testament to the power of a highly connected, expertly managed interconnect environment. We share a symbiotic relationship with DataBank and recently launched a high-capacity network serving their new Red Oak, Texas campus. We're excited to continue building on this momentum." "We are excited to have Gigabit Fiber expand their presence with DataBank at DFW1," said Raul Martynek, DataBank's CEO. "Their expansions at our DFW1 facility further expand the extensive range of connectivity solutions available to our joint customers and help cement 400 S. Akard as one of the top interconnection points in the Dallas market." https://lnkd.in/gkc2uHFW
