Very few benefits in life come without a cost and, when only the initial costs are considered, this is true of IR windows fitted in electrical equipment enclosures. However, over the longer term, IR windows can actually deliver cost savings.

Additionally, Lightpath sees more enterprises looking to align themselves with cloud providers and data centers. “The other thing that we're seeing is more and more hyperscalers and then other people wanting to align themselves with cloud providers with the hyperscalers and cloud providers,” Turtz said. "To my delight, this has occurred in the enterprise space where the most prominent enterprises say we need to be located locally with these folks operating in the cloud space.”

Condenser lenses play a vital role in optical systems, enhancing illumination and improving image clarity in various applications.

Data centers are also a key priority for Lightpath. Lightpath has presence in over 140 data centers and several submarine cable landing stations today. Lightpath continues to serve data center operators and other companies trying to reach data centers.

After meeting regulatory approvals, Lightpath expects the acquisition to close in the third quarter of 2024.Doug Turtz, Lightpath's Chief Revenue Officer, said acquiring UFD was a natural fit.“It was a natural bolt-on acquisition,” he said. “It added high volume capacity both dark and lit fiber capabilities, including 300 more miles of backbone fiber that we can leverage and use, which is unique because it's diverse.”

FLIR IRWindows

The range of FMIR IR windows: standardised interface windows allowing for measures intended for use in research and industry. You can create your FMIR IR windows by choosing the following assembling criteria (viewing diameter, mechanical frame material, minimum and maximum spectral domain, temperature range). The standardised FMIR IR windows are the fruit of our long experience in optics and optomechanics.

The addition of UFD's assets also further enhances Lightpath's Manhattan metro network coverage. It will serve nearly 1,500 enterprise and data center destinations, a fivefold increase over the past three years.

Turtz said that while it is seeing both types of customers, a growing majority of the services it provides are data center providers themselves.

The IR Window is a Wintech Groupe innovation. Our IR windows are known for their performances and tested technological quality in many industrial sectors and research departments (businesses, engineering schools, public scientific organisations).

UFD's New York City-Ashburn network offers high fiber counts and will support dark fiber, Ethernet, and wavelengths up to 800 Gbps. This network is geographically diverse from typical long-haul routes along the I-95 corridor. It will enhance Lightpath's network of over 20,000 route miles, connecting over 15,000 service locations, including over 140 data centers and seven cable landing stations.

NJFX’s campus hosts over 35 global and U.S. operators, including multinational banks that require always-on connectivity. The NJFX campus is also where the major cloud operators have their global backbones physically connecting transatlantic cables to Europe and South America.

Infrared inspection, thermal cameras and IR windows can help you detect hotspots and prevent fire outbreaks within electrical enclosures, warehouses, etc. Essencial for electrical inspection, the use of IR windows allows to maintain the equipment energised throughout the inspection.

“Lightpath has over 15,000 service locations today, and with the 20,000 route miles we have, we can better respond to new offices rounding up capacity requirements,” Turtz said.

A big part of the UFD acquisition is the fiber assets. UFD owns and operates a unique and diverse 323-route mile, high-fiber count network between New York City and Ashburn, VA, connecting the country's largest population center with the world's largest data center and cloud ecosystem.

The range of H.VIR® IR windows: inspection windows intended for the thermographic maintenance of electrical equipment (transformers, switchgear, busbar, motors). Thanks to H.VIR® IR windows, it is possible to carry out maintenance testing on live equipment using thermography. Equipped with infrared cameras, thermographic technicians and operators have real protection from electrical arcs (start of fire).

In recent years, UFD has been attracting a sizeable list of high-profile customers for its fiber-based services, including traditional large international carriers like Deutsche Telekom Global Carrier and Eastlink.

He added that enhancing diversity also enables Lightpath to address disaster recovery better and get access to more data centers.“So when you think about disaster recovery or reaching data centers, do you necessarily want to go through all the places that are heavily trafficked, or do you want to stay outside them,” Turtz said. “This affords us that unique opportunity to balance those two things, and we have another route to Virginia.”

UFD customers will gain access to the entire Lightpath network and service portfolio, including Wavelengths, Ethernet, Internet, Private Networks, Dark Fiber, LP FlexNet, Voice, Security Solutions, and other Managed Services. Likewise, existing Lightpath customers will be able to access UFD's dark fiber and lit fiber network services.

“So, we are seeing international customers that must reach new endpoints," Turtz said. "These customers want to get to the Virginia market or from Virginia to New York to reach data centers in Secaucus, New York or Central New Jersey."

UFD brings a 79-route mile metro network in New York City and New Jersey, including connectivity to over 350 enterprise and data center locations and a high-fiber count crossing of the Hudson River, adding capacity to Lightpath's three existing Hudson River crossings. “We were also happy to learn when we looked at UFD that it had a unique Hudson River crossing,” Turtz said. “You start to think about how difficult it has become to find pathways between New York City and North Jersey via the legacy Amtrak or Holland tunnels, which have gotten more congested.”

Lightpath said the combination of networks will allow it to offer geographically diverse, high-capacity services from commercial enterprise buildings, cable landing stations, and data centers along the East Coast directly to the Ashburn ecosystem.

“By acquiring UFD, we can extend our complete product set to more locations,” Turtz said. “The additional capacity combined with the uniqueness of UFD’s river crossing fits our East Coast reach model.”

“We see the data center providers at least wanting to link up their centers to offer high-capacity bandwidth so that they are physically, but seemingly virtually right next door for their occupants,” he said. “We know who all the big tier Tier 1 providers in the data center space are and are actively building into those.”

By purchasing UFD, the service provider, they added a geographically diverse, high fiber count between New York City and Ashburn, VA, while increasing its serviceable market in Manhattan by over 20%.

By acquiring UFD, Lightpath also enhances its connectivity and relationship with NJFX, a cable landing station (CLS) colocation campus that offers Tier 3, carrier-neutral data center capabilities.

The range of HVIS IR windows: inspection windows intended for visual monitoring. The H.VIS Electric Eye® IR windows are optomechanical packages composed of an optic and a frame. The main objective of the H.VIS Electric Eye® IR windows is to allow for visual inspection of electrical equipment. However, it can also be used for thermography, but with shortwave cameras (3 to 5 µm) only.

As Lightpath moves forward with its acquisition of United Fiber and Data (UFD), a growing provider of fiber network infrastructure, the provider enhances its reach to address enterprise and data center customers better.

Another critical element of the UFD purchase is that it provides diversity and the ability to bypass congested fiber conduit and network routes.

Increasingly, Lightpath is seeing greater demand for higher-speed wavelength and dark fiber services. “Hyperscalers and international carriers are conversing with us about using our 400G multi or dark fiber products while an enterprise might be looking at 10 or 100 Gbps connections,” Turtz said.Whether it’s a light or dark fiber service, Lightpath's key is to provide a service tailored to its customer's unique needs, and the UFD purchase allows it to further that vision. “If it's a dark fiber customer, they're doing it, and we're helping them manage that infrastructure,” Turtz said. “We then tailor it from a customer perspective, whether SD-WAN, wavelengths, or internet. And if they have something unique that they need run, then our product team and engineering team jump in, and we'll lab test and do certain things with them.”
