Lightstorm, a pioneer in building utility-scale resilient fiber optic networks, has announced the expansion of its global footprint with a presence in the Middle East.
It will make multi-million dollar investments in the region to strengthen its digital infrastructure in the region.
Lightstorm has also signed partnership agreements with several key players in the region, including Kalaam and Gulf Data Hub (GDH), to provide state-of-the-art digital infrastructure to businesses in the region, the company said in a statement.
Its partners will benefit from the group’s presence in the region, while it offers key advantages to clients looking to expand and grow in the MEA region.
