Three Michigan Companies Announce New 90+ Mile Fiber Route from Southfield to Lansing

Three Michigan Companies—123NET, DayStarr Communications, and Peninsula Fiber Network—announced a new 90-mile fiber route connecting Southfield to Lansing. This new network will enhance the connectivity options in underserved areas for 123NET (a fiber internet, colocation, and voice services provider), Owosso-based DayStarr Communications (a high-speed Internet and phone service provider), and Marquette-based Peninsula Fiber Network (a provider of network, NG911, and core services throughout the state and in Wisconsin). This joint multi-million-dollar 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 on this investment has already begun and will continue for approximately 18 months. One common goal that all three companies have is improving connectivity options to nearby underserved or unserved areas. This investment will not only bring connectivity to nearby communities but will create opportunities for more partnerships in the future.
