Lightstorm, a digital network infrastructure provider based in Singapore, has expanded its global network by integrating assets from RTI Cables. This strategic move aims to enhance subsea capacity and provide low-latency connectivity for artificial intelligence (AI), cloud services, and enterprise clients.
With this latest integration, Lightstorm has significantly boosted its capabilities, establishing a network with over 75 Tbps of capacity spanning more than 25 data centers. The network now operates in seven key markets: Tokyo, Sydney, Brisbane, Guam, Hawaii, Los Angeles, and Singapore. The incorporation of 21,000 kilometers of subsea cable systems creates a robust infrastructure that supports high-capacity and low-latency communication for large-scale organizations.
Lightstorm’s network features some of the fastest routes in the industry. For instance, the connection from Tokyo to Sydney, which measures 9,700 kilometers, can be completed in just 97 milliseconds. Similarly, the route from Australia to the U.S., via Guam and Hawaii, spans 14,500 kilometers and takes 109 milliseconds. Notably, Lightstorm also provides the only direct link from Singapore to the U.S. that avoids the South China Sea, enhancing security and resilience for enterprises concerned with geopolitical issues.
Amajit Gupta, the Group CEO and Managing Director of Lightstorm, highlighted the implications of this expansion, stating, “With the integration of RTI Cables, we are not only expanding our network reach but also redefining connectivity standards for hyperscalers, enterprises, and OTT platforms seeking agile, intelligent, and high-capacity solutions.” The company now boasts a combined terrestrial and subsea network capacity of 1,500 Tbps, connecting to over 250 data centers across 14 countries, reinforcing its ability to meet the growing demand for reliable, low-latency connectivity in the cloud and AI sectors.
The expansion aligns with the global trend towards increased demand for AI, cloud services, and digital transformation, positioning Lightstorm as a vital player in these rapidly evolving markets.
