Fiber-optic connectivity platform with managed services for enterprise networks
Lightpath operates a fiber network business serving enterprise, government, and education customers across the Northeast. The tech stack is heavy on carrier-grade networking (Dark Fiber, MPLS, Ethernet, SD-WAN, Ciena, Cisco, Juniper) paired with legacy telecom protocols (SIP, SONET, CWDM, OTDR), indicating a mature infrastructure business managing both existing deployments and next-generation upgrades. Active hiring spans engineering, sales, and construction—reflecting simultaneous scaling of both service delivery and network footprint expansion through capital projects like new cable installation and colocation facility buildouts.
