Zayo is expanding its fiber optic network by over 8,000 miles to support the growing demand for AI infrastructure, with NVIDIA serving as a key anchor customer. This expansion aims to address potential capacity constraints in existing long-haul routes that are becoming a bottleneck for distributed AI computing clusters. While some analysts believe widespread network bottlenecks are not yet apparent, others note that existing fiber was designed for older data center topologies and may not suffice for the increasing geographical spread of AI facilities.
