Feb. 23, 2026 – Indianapolis will soon see 240 miles of dark fiber connectivity routes, enabling high-speed processing for artificial intelligence and hyperscalers.
On Wednesday, dark fiber provider Light Source Communications (LSC) announced its newest network build out, projected to be completed by the third quarter of 2027.
The 240-mile route will expand Graphics Processing Units (GPU), an electronic circuit that can process data at high speeds, allowing greater capacity for data centers, rendering 3D graphics, video editing, and AI acceleration. This will allow for greater competition and advancement among hyperscalers, neoclouds and other companies.
Legislation would create a nonprofit to fund digital literacy and broadband adoption nationwide.
The investment comes as a nearby Amazon project faces a lawsuit over transparency.
Most funding would be required to reach local government directly.
