Bandwidth IG (BIG) is innovating legacy networks with new AI-ready infrastructure in the Greater Atlanta area, US. Atlanta has emerged as one of the largest data centre markets in the US, and BIG’s recently launched fibre expansion will play a critical role in growth.
The additions to BIG’s Greater Atlanta network will double its fibre footprint, adding 170 route miles, bringing the total to more than 330 route miles in Georgia. Major investments in digital infrastructure, which includes innovation hubs and data center campuses, are expanding further outside of the major downtown business district, creating a critical need for digital infrastructure services in more areas.
BIG’s expansion will deliver AI-ready fibre infrastructure to additional counties, including Rockdale, Newton, Henry, Dekalb, and Butts Counties. The investment densifies BIG’s existing network in Clayton, Douglas, Fayette, and Fulton Counties. This project adds essential middle-mile connectivity to these emerging areas that will benefit local economies for decades to come.
“Enterprises and hyperscalers are making large investments in artificial intelligence, Cloud computing, and other data-intensive technologies that are transforming our lives at work and at home. BIG will continue to be an agile dark fibre provider that empowers our customers to deliver new technologies in Georgia along with our additional markets,” said Bruce Garrison, CEO of BIG.
Businesses and communities benefit significantly from improved dark fibre infrastructure. Increasing access to best-in-class fibre infrastructure is a key driver of economic growth.
Construction of BIG’s network expansion is underway with the first segment expected to be complete by Q3 2025.
