Lightower is currently constructing multiple new fiber rings throughout downtown Chicago and the surrounding communities of Oak Brook, Elk Grove and Franklin Park.

Lightower provides financial services firms with customized, industry-specific solutions including critical components like latency management, routing management, network diversity and redundancy, customized security, and private networks.
