Atlantic Broadband to Acquire FiberLight's South Florida Fiber Network
Atlantic Broadband has signed a definitive agreement to purchase the entire South Florida fiber network from FiberLight, LLC, an industry leader in providing high-performance fiber-optic network solutions. Upon completion of the agreement, Atlantic Broadband will add approximately 350 route miles to its existing South Florida footprint, more than doubling its existing fiber footprint in the region.
This acquisition, which is subject to customary regulatory approvals and expected to close within six months, allows Atlantic Broadband to significantly accelerate its effort to expand fiber-delivered business and carrier services in the vibrant and growing corridor running from downtown Miami up to North Palm Beach. As part of this transaction, Atlantic Broadband has purchased dark fiber capacity from FiberLight that will enable the company to begin offering its advanced business communication solutions across the entire network footprint almost immediately.
“With interconnections to every major data center and nearly 200 on-net buildings throughout South Florida, acquiring FiberLight’s high quality and high capacity fiber network will cement our position as a leading provider of business communications services in South Florida,” said David Isenberg, Atlantic Broadband President and Chief Revenue Officer. “We look forward to playing an even greater role in supporting and enabling the innovation and economic growth that has characterized this region.”
