Uniti Wholesale expands dark fiber and colocation footprint in key markets

Uniti Wholesale said it is expanding its dark fiber and colocation footprint across Mississippi, Alabama and Oklahoma, adding new market-by-market buildouts and customer wins as it targets hyperscale and neo-cloud demand.

The company said it signed new metro dark fiber agreements in Jackson, Mississippi, covering 4,313 contracted fiber miles. Uniti also said one Jackson award was expanded by a major hyperscaler and a neo-cloud provider.

In Birmingham, Alabama, Uniti said it began a new 69-route-mile metro build. In Tulsa, Oklahoma, the company said it secured a new 50-rack colocation agreement.

The announcement builds on Uniti Wholesale's previously disclosed 20-year, $500 million customer contract and a broader 1,100-route-mile fiber expansion in the South-Central U.S.

Uniti issued the release on May 18, 2026, framing the new projects as part of its broader push to add fast-turn capacity for large network customers.
