Zayo Group is a global communications infrastructure company founded in 2007. It designs, builds, operates, and maintains a fibre optic network spanning 141,000 miles across North America and Europe, connecting thousands of buildings and data centres. The company has grown through a combination of organic expansion and strategic acquisitions, and has operated as a private company since 2020. It employs more than 3,700 people.
Zayo's core business is providing bandwidth and network connectivity to carriers, enterprises, and government agencies. Its service portfolio includes dark fibre, wavelength services, carrier-grade Ethernet, dedicated internet access, and the design and deployment of private networks. Customers range from wireless and wireline carriers to media companies, financial institutions, healthcare organisations, and technology firms.
Operating as a private company allows Zayo to prioritise long-term network investment over short-term earnings pressures. The infrastructure it operates underpins a broad range of digital services, and the company describes its bandwidth as mission-critical to its customers' operations.
