Services — Connectivity
Campus-Wide Network Infrastructure.
Carrier-grade ISP transit and dedicated internet access from three providers, long-haul reach to Dallas, and a full inter- and intra-building fiber infrastructure — all part of one integrated campus platform.

ISP Transit and Dedicated Internet Access
Three Providers. One Campus.
GridMetro, Zayo, and Windstream all have a campus presence, offering a range of dedicated internet access, private networking, and long-haul connectivity services. Customers can procure directly from providers or through campus coordination.
GridMetro
Regional metro fiber provider with campus presence. Offers dedicated internet access, Ethernet private line, and regional network connectivity services.
- Dedicated Internet Access (DIA)
- Ethernet Private Line
- Metro Ethernet
- Wavelength services
Zayo
National and international fiber network with long-haul reach. Zayo's presence on campus provides access to a broad national backbone including Dallas long-haul connectivity.
- Dedicated Internet Access
- Dark Fiber
- Wavelength / DWDM
- Long-haul to Dallas and beyond
Windstream
Established regional carrier offering a range of business data services with coverage across Texas and the broader South Central region.
- Dedicated Internet Access
- Ethernet services
- MPLS and private networking
- Voice and managed services
Long-Haul Access
Dallas Long-Haul Links Available via Zayo
Zayo's national fiber backbone provides long-haul connectivity from the campus to Dallas and beyond — supporting private wavelengths, dark fiber, and dedicated transport circuits for customers requiring low-latency long-haul paths to major network exchange and peering facilities.
Inter-Building Connectivity
Campus-Wide Fiber Infrastructure.
Campus-owned inter-building fiber connects all buildings on the campus. Customers with multi-building deployments — across Powered Shell facilities, Turnkey Colocation pods, or a mix — can provision dark fiber or lit inter-building links between their locations without procuring an external carrier.
The campus carrier-neutral meet-me room (MMR) provides a common demarcation and cross-connect environment for ISP handoffs and tenant-to-tenant or building-to-building connections.
Campus Dark Fiber
Campus-owned dark fiber runs between buildings across the campus. Customers requiring inter-building connectivity can provision dark fiber pairs directly, supporting custom optical configurations, private wavelengths, or third-party DWDM equipment.
Lit Inter-Building Links
Pre-provisioned lit fiber paths between campus buildings are available for customers who need inter-building Ethernet connectivity without managing their own optical infrastructure. Supported at standard Ethernet speeds.
Carrier-Neutral Meet-Me Room
The campus carrier-neutral meet-me room (MMR) provides a common demarcation point for ISP connections and cross-connects between tenants and carriers. Cross-connect orders are managed through campus operations.
OT/IT Segmented Pathways
Campus inter-building conduit and fiber infrastructure maintains physical separation between operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT) networks, consistent with campus-wide OT/IT segmentation policy.
Intra-Building Connectivity
Structured Cabling and In-Building Fiber.
Within each building, structured cabling infrastructure, fiber backbone, and network equipment spaces are delivered as part of the Powered Shell and Turnkey Colocation service — ready for your network equipment on arrival.
Structured Cabling Infrastructure
Intra-building structured cabling backbone is installed as part of the Powered Shell delivery and as an option within Turnkey Colocation. Includes horizontal distribution, vertical riser conduit, and fiber backbone between MDF and IDFs.
Fiber Backbone
Single-mode fiber backbone runs between MDF and IDF locations within each building. Supports customer-provisioned optical equipment, direct attach, and break-out configurations for intra-building fabric connections.
Network Equipment Space
MDF and IDF rack space is included in Powered Shell deliveries and is available in Turnkey Colocation builds. Locked, access-controlled network rooms with power and cooling matched to the installed equipment footprint.
Demarcation and Patching
Structured cabling demarcation panels and patch infrastructure are installed per building. ISP hand-off panels terminate at the MDF. Campus cross-connect panels provide the interface between in-building infrastructure and the campus MMR.
A Note on Carrier Procurement
ISP and transit services from GridMetro, Zayo, and Windstream are procured directly between customers and carriers. The campus provides the physical infrastructure, conduit, and demarcation environment — carrier agreements are your own commercial relationships.
Campus operations can assist with coordinating provider access, scheduling demarcation work, and providing documentation of campus fiber infrastructure during the connectivity design phase.
