Uniti Wholesale, a Uniti Group Inc. business, reported accelerated progress on its 2026 expansion plan, including plans for about 20 new U.S. data center on-ramps and six major route upgrades/new routes. Six initial data center projects are underway in Austin (Data Foundry), El Segundo (Equinix), Franklin (Flexential), Chandler (H5), McAllen (1547), and Clifton (DRT). The company also launched FastWaves™, a pre-deployed optical capacity program intended to deliver 100G and 400G wavelength services in under three weeks on select routes; Phase 1 is set to activate 40 routes by March 1, with Phase 2 adding 15 more routes early in the second quarter. FastWaves orders are scheduled to begin the first week of March, with route availability and ordering provided through the iconnect Route Creator tool and an SLA-backed commitment if three-week install intervals are not met.
