    FiberLight expands Texas presence with Metro Fiber Networks deal

    • FiberLight agrees to acquire Metro Fiber Networks to strengthen network density in Texas.
    • The deal follows a strategic growth push after a major recapitalisation in 2023.

    What happened: FiberLight builds on recent investment with new deal

    FiberLight, a Texas-based fibre infrastructure provider, has agreed to acquire Metro Fiber Networks (MFN), a regional network operator also based in Texas. The transaction, announced on FiberLight’s website, marks a significant step in FiberLight’s efforts to enhance its metro presence across strategic markets in the state.

    MFN specialises in building and managing dense fibre networks, particularly in under-served metro areas. The acquisition will add new routes and capacity to FiberLight’s 18,000-mile network footprint, including enhanced reach in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and other high-growth corridors.

    This move comes after FiberLight received new investment in 2023 from H.R.L. Morrison & Co., giving the company more support to grow and improve its digital infrastructure.

    Why it is important

    This acquisition clearly signals that regional fibre infrastructure is becoming a battleground for connectivity and enterprise services in the US. As demand for high-speed broadband and cloud interconnectivity surges, providers like FiberLight are racing to control the last-mile and metro-scale assets that underpin digital transformation.

    The Texas market is especially critical, with booming population centres, new data centre builds, and enterprise campuses demanding resilient, high-capacity fibre. Metro Fiber Networks has built a reputation for agile deployments and reliable performance—qualities that will bolster FiberLight’s competitive edge.

    “MFN’s team and assets are a perfect complement to FiberLight’s strategic goals,” said CEO Bill Major, who called the deal “a milestone” in building a more substantial presence in Texas metros.

    The consolidation trend mirrors similar moves across the sector. For example, Zayo Group recently announced new expansions in Dallas and Phoenix, while Segra has targeted underserved markets in the southeast US.

    With this acquisition, FiberLight is not only adding physical assets—it is acquiring local expertise, customer relationships, and market access that would take years to build organically. It’s a smart and timely move in a market where metro fibre demand continues to outpace supply.
