Acquisition adds unique, high-count fiber routes in Midwest
BOULDER, Colo. – April 17, 2018 – Zayo Group Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: ZAYO) today announced that it has completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Neutral Path Communications and Near North Partners.
The acquisition adds 452 owned route miles, plus additional leased route miles, to Zayo’s extensive North American network, including a unique, high-count fiber route from Minneapolis to Omaha. The fiber footprint provides Zayo with three owned diverse fiber routes out of Minneapolis, Chicago and Omaha.
As a result, Zayo is able to sell multi-city dark fiber and fiber-based lit solutions from Minneapolis into Omaha, extending to Denver, Kansas City, Tulsa, Dallas, Des Moines, Chicago and other major markets.
“The acquisition enables us to better connect and support our robust Minneapolis network,” said Jack Waters, CTO and president of Fiber Solutions at Zayo. “Because of the complementary nature of the acquisition, and our Tranzact platform, we can begin cross-selling our full suite of services immediately.”
