Hyperscale Fiber Ring

To support connectivity between multiple data centers across the Twin Cities, a leading data center provider required a nearly 200-mile hyperscale fiber ring with diverse routing to ensure maximum reliability. The project involved navigating a complex web of permitting jurisdictions—including the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Minnesota DOT, Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, and several counties and cities—each presenting its own set of challenges.

ISG brought regional expertise and strategic insight to the table, providing route determination and permitting support to streamline the process. Our team’s local knowledge and strong relationships with agencies helped mitigate delays and keep the project moving forward. The result: future-ready infrastructure designed to support the region’s growing digital needs.
