Lumos to install over 1,200 miles of fiber optic, expanding into Indiana
Lumos has announced its inaugural expansion into Indiana, with plans to build over 1,200 miles of fiber optic infrastructure aimed at providing 100% fiber optic internet service to homes and small businesses in the area.
Lumos' fiber optic network will be available to over 81,000 addresses in the cities of Charlestown, Jeffersonville and New Albany and the towns of Sellersburg and Clarksville. With Lumos' network, communities will gain access to the latest fiber optic technology, providing faster speeds than traditional cable or DSL and designed to meet their work, school, health, entertainment and everyday needs.
"We are excited to bring ultra-high-speed fiber internet to Hoosier communities," Lumos CEO Brian Stading said. "This expansion connects more families and businesses to the reliable connectivity needed to thrive in today’s digital world. As we grow our footprint in the Midwest, Lumos remains committed to empowering Hoosier communities and fostering a brighter future for everyone we serve."
Fiber internet is not just about faster speeds; it is the key to economic development and opportunity. In today's world, where reliable connectivity is critical, fiber provides the speed and capacity necessary for businesses to thrive and communities to grow.
Lumos' expansion received widespread support from local Indiana leaders, eager to have a next-generation fiber optic network to enable the gig economy in their communities.
"Charlestown is excited to welcome Lumos Fiber to our community," said Charlestown Mayor Treva Hodges. "Reliable, high-quality internet service is critical infrastructure that enables our residents to remain connected whether for work or play."
"We welcome this private investment in 21st century infrastructure within the Town of Sellersburg by Lumos," Sellersburg Town Council President Brad Amos said. "We look forward to our residents and businesses utilizing this advanced fiber technology in this modern world. If the pandemic of 2020 taught us anything, it is how important reliable high-speed internet access is in our everyday lives."
