Three Michigan Companies To Build 90-Mile Fiber Link From Southfield To Lansing

SOUTHFIELD—Three Michigan companies—Southfield-based 123.Net, Owosso-based DayStarr Communications, and Marquette-based Peninsula Fiber Network—have announced a new 90-mile fiber route connecting Southfield to Lansing. This network will enhance connectivity options in underserved areas.

This multi-million-dollar joint investment brings state-of-the-art optical fiber opportunities to Lansing, Okemos, Williamston, Webberville, Fowlerville, Howell, Brighton and other municipalities along the path. Underground construction has begun and will continue for approximately 18 months.

One common goal that all three companies share is improving connectivity options to nearby underserved or unserved areas. This network investment will not only bring connectivity to nearby communities but will create opportunities for more partnerships in the future.

Businesses and municipalities along the route are encouraged to contact 123NET, PFN, or DayStarr for service availability and construction information.
