NEW
YORK, Jan. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Lightpath,
an all-fiber infrastructure-based connectivity provider that is
revolutionizing how organizations connect to their digital
destinations, announced the launch of two distinct performance
units: Major Infrastructure Solutions for large-scale connectivity,
and Core Infrastructure and Network Solutions for connecting
enterprise customers to their digital destinations.
Lightpath launches two new performance
units to respond to AI demand for both large-scale and enterprise
businesses.
This evolution of Lightpath's strategy is designed to better
align with emerging market trends, like surging AI-related demand
for network infrastructure, while also underscoring Lightpath's
commitment to delivering cutting-edge connectivity solutions across
its established markets of Enterprise, Government, Education,
Carriers, and Wireless.
Major Infrastructure Solutions: Expanding Backbone
Connectivity for Large-Scale Requirements
The newly created Major Infrastructure Solutions unit, led by
EVP Tim Haverkate, will focus on connecting customers with large
bandwidth needs by building and marketing high-capacity
infrastructure between existing and new Data Centers and Cable
Landing Stations across all geographies. The unit's offerings
include high-count fiber and conduit solutions tailored for
hyperscalers, carriers, wholesale clients, national technology
leaders, and strategic enterprise customers.
This business is rooted in Lightpath's existing expertise,
seamlessly extending the company's capabilities to address the
surging demand for backbone connectivity, intercity and metro
networks, and integrations with cloud platforms, business
applications, and AI-driven tools. By leveraging Lightpath's deep
infrastructure and operational experience, this unit is poised to
meet the demands of large-scale customers requiring massive
bandwidth and low-latency solutions.
"Lightpath's strength lies in our ability to scale and adapt to
the most demanding network requirements, building on over 30 years
of experience in our existing markets," said Tim Haverkate. "This isn't just about creating
new solutions—it's about leveraging our proven capabilities to
deliver infrastructure that enables the backbone of today's digital
transformation, from hyperscalers to AI applications."
Core Infrastructure and Networking Solutions: Securely
Connecting Enterprises to Their Digital Destinations
The second unit, Core Infrastructure and Networking Solutions,
will focus on Lightpath's longstanding core business of providing
enterprise-class connectivity and network security. Led by
President Joe Harding, this unit
will continue to serve Enterprise, Government, Education, Carrier,
and Wireless customers, delivering all-fiber solutions that extend
connectivity from core backbone networks to customer locations.
This group will prioritize delivering high-performance, secure
solutions that connect customers directly to their digital
destinations, including data centers, cloud providers, and emerging
AI workloads. It represents the largest portion of Lightpath's
current revenue base and is integral to the company's growth
trajectory.
Harding, who joins Lightpath with over 25 years of experience,
will oversee sales, operations, customer care, marketing, product,
and service delivery for this segment. His focus will be on
maintaining Lightpath's industry-leading growth while enhancing the
customer experience for a diverse range of connectivity needs.
"Lightpath has been a trailblazer in the digital infrastructure
space, and I'm thrilled to join a company with such an impressive
track record," said Joe Harding,
President of Core Infrastructure and Networking Solutions. "As
enterprise customers increasingly adopt AI and hybrid-cloud
architectures, their connectivity demands are growing rapidly.
Lightpath is uniquely positioned to deliver solutions that meet
those demands while continuing to innovate for the future."
Two Units, One Mission: Empowering the Digital Future

Lightpath's commitment to serving its diverse customer base with
