Light Source Communications to Build 400-Mile Data Highway for AI Infrastructure
Light Source Communications is developing a 400-mile data highway to meet the bandwidth demands of generative AI and LLMs. This infrastructure, set to be completed by spring 2027, will integrate with existing routes and support high-performance computing needs.

Light Source Communications is set to construct a 400-mile 'dark fiber' data highway connecting Amarillo, Stillwater, Oklahoma City, and Tulsa, with completion aimed for spring 2027. This route, which supports high-performance computing for AI data centers, is anchored by an undisclosed hyperscale tenant and runs through areas with significant Google investments, including a $3 billion AI campus in Stillwater.
The infrastructure will utilize underground cables and in-line amplifiers to enhance signal strength. Concurrently, Oklahoma lawmakers are advancing legislation to protect consumers from potential rate spikes due to increased energy demands from data centers, with House Bill 2992 focusing on ensuring that large energy users cover infrastructure costs.
Another bill, House Bill 4194, addresses the decommissioning of data centers. The construction timeline is unaffected by current legal disputes or local moratoriums on new data center projects in Tulsa.
