Light Source Communications (LSC), a leading provider of high-capacity, future-proof dark fibre networks, has announced the signing of a second major hyperscale tenant on its long-haul dark fibre route connecting Tulsa, Oklahoma and St. Louis, Missouri. This milestone underscores the increasing strategic importance of Central US as a critical corridor for the massive data demands of Generative AI and High-Performance Computing (HPC).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The addition of a second hyperscaler validates LSC’s vision for this critical route, which spans over 500 miles and features eight in-line amplifiers (ILAs) strategically placed to ensure signal integrity for GPU-dense and AI\/ML workloads. Designed from the outset with high-capacity fibre counts and a 100% underground deployment, the network is purpose-built to support the symbiotic relationship between hyperscale clouds and the emerging Edge infrastructure required for real-time AI processing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“This second signing speaks volumes about the confidence global providers have in our network’s design and our team’s operational excellence,” said Debra Freitas, CEO and Co-founder of Light Source Communications. “This route provides the secure, diverse and scalable backbone that will allow hyperscalers, enterprises, governments and neoclouds to innovate without limits.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As Tulsa continues to emerge as a premier data centre hub, this multi-tenant validation fast-tracks the region’s status, providing the foundational infrastructure necessary to compete with Tier-1 markets. Engineering for the route is substantially complete, with initial construction phases successfully underway. Construction is forecast to be complete in the third quarter of 2027.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
