Arelion expands North American AI superhighway with five regional PoPs enabling rapid connectivity solutions for GPU compute deployments

STOCKHOLM, Nov. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Arelion today announced the expansion of its North American network with five new Points-of-Presence (PoPs) in key regional data center markets, extending the company's AI superhighway to a growing ecosystem of neocloud and GPU-focused compute campuses. These PoPs provide enterprise, neocloud, hyperscale and wholesale customers with high-capacity, diverse connectivity and rapid service delivery, supporting continued AI infrastructure growth.

The expansion brings connectivity to emerging GPU infrastructure markets in Reno and Fargo; major hyperscale and enterprise markets in Atlanta and Houston; and South Florida, where Miami supports both growing regional compute demand and subsea connectivity to Latin America and the Caribbean.

"We're seeing significant customer demand in these regions as AI infrastructure expands beyond established data center hubs, with neoclouds and GPU-focused providers bringing compute capacity into new markets," said Art Kazmierczak, Director of Strategic Sales and Network Development at Arelion. "Our North American AI superhighway gives these providers the capacity, diversity and speed-to-deployment they need to bring services online quickly, while enabling enterprises and cloud users to move large AI data sets and workloads between their networks, cloud environments and distributed GPU resources."

Arelion provides IP Transit, 400G EVPL Ethernet, Wavelengths, Managed Optical Fiber Network (MOFN) services and more to serve these demands. These solutions enable terabit-scale connectivity and multiple paths for customers moving large data sets between GPU clusters and related digital infrastructure.

Demand for neocloud and AI infrastructure is expected to grow significantly, with Structure Research estimating that the global neocloud and AI infrastructure market will reach $186 billion by 2030 as critical IT capacity scales from approximately 2.3 GW to 150 GW.

Through its existing North American backbone, relationships with regional infrastructure providers and targeted new network construction, Arelion can rapidly extend high-capacity connectivity to emerging compute campuses. This agile deployment model enables neocloud providers to bring services online quickly while giving enterprises and other cloud users low-latency access to the GPU infrastructure required for compute-intensive AI workloads.

For enterprises, this expansion reduces latency and improves redundancy when moving workloads between on-premises infrastructure, cloud environments, and distributed GPU resources, without requiring direct investment in regional buildout.

As these requirements evolve across industries including financial services, biotech, energy and manufacturing, Arelion provides the scalable connectivity needed for AI model development, inference and other compute-intensive applications.

Extending Arelion's AI superhighway into five regional compute markets:

Reno, Nevada – A new PoP extends Arelion's AI superhighway into a growing GPU compute and hyperscale capacity market, with two locations supporting greater network diversity.

Fargo, North Dakota – A new PoP expands Arelion's network to large-scale infrastructure supporting GPU and high-performance computing workloads.

Houston, Texas – A new PoP extends Arelion's network in a major technology and energy market, supporting demand for AI and other data-intensive applications.

Atlanta, Georgia – A new PoP expands Arelion's footprint in one of North America's largest data center markets, supporting continued hyperscale and AI infrastructure growth.

Miami, Florida – A new PoP strengthens Arelion's South Florida footprint, supporting regional compute demand and connectivity between North American networks and subsea systems serving Latin America and the Caribbean.
