NVIDIA is reportedly acquiring long-haul dark fiber across the United States to bolster its AI infrastructure. The initiative secures unused optical cable to pre-wire network corridors for neocloud customers. This move helps these partners close the infrastructure gap with hyperscalers like Microsoft and Amazon.
The investment provides NVIDIA and its partners greater control over AI traffic. It reduces dependence on established cloud providers for network capacity. The strategy aligns with NVIDIA's growth in Data Center Networking and significant supply commitments.
This expansion signals a deeper push to control the end-to-end AI ecosystem. Separately, NVIDIA donated a DGX GB300 AI supercomputer to the U.S. Naval Postgraduate School.
