From the field. As Construction Manager here at Crosstown Fiber, I’m proud to lead the crews that are actually turning these Dare/Fiber Routes/Designs into reality.
Our ultra-low latency doesn’t happen by accident; it’s built one trench, one bore run, one splice, and one manhole at a time across Chicago’s toughest corridors.
I’m excited to help power SC26 and the next generation of quantum and HPC.
Future-ready infrastructure starts with us in the ground.

Proud to power connectivity for SC26.
As quantum + HPC evolve, infrastructure matters more than ever.
Future-ready fiber is here.
Crosstown Fiber is ready.
Are you?

I’ve actually been the one knee-deep in these Chicago trenches, dodging potholes, and legacy excuses. While the old, outdated, carriers are still routing your AI traffic through 1990s detours and aged equipment, we’re laying straight-shot, low-latency fiber so your models train faster.
Future’s not coming… we’re burying it right now.

You can't train tomorrow's AI models on yesterday's fiber routes. 🧠
As AI scales across Chicago and the Midwest, legacy carrier paths are creating latency bottlenecks. We build dedicated, ultra-low latency fiber routes designed for the speed of modern tech.

Principal Kirk Moore, who tackled the school shooter, walked into prom a few days later to a huge celebration from the students and was named prom king.
As a CM at Crosstown, I've watched our crews deliver a full 45 miles underground fiber conduits/cables from Aurora straight into downtown Chicago with a harden route being truly diversity, resilience, and the low-latency DCI our clients need.
No shared trenches, no compromises. This is what happens when the team commits to doing it right: secure, custom-built connectivity that holds up in the Midwest. Huge thanks to everyone who made it happen.
Who's ready to connect?
Let’s build more.

I've seen too many aerial lines(telephone and power poles) go down in a gust of wind or fallen branches, that's exactly why my teams build under ground routes that actually stay up when the storms hit.

Spring storms in Chicago and the Midwest are unpredictable. Your network uptime shouldn't be. ⛈️
Aerial fiber is vulnerable to high winds and debris. We build our networks 100% underground, so no matter what happens on the surface, your data never stops moving.

Our team, @Mike Underdown, @Eric Nickla, @Rick Pipala, @Patrick Sullivan will be at the Gaylord National Resort (Suite 3403-3), and we still have a few openings available to meet.

As a proud @CrosstownFiberemployee, I'm thrilled Treasurer Frerichs is investing in our high-speed internet to connect over 165,000 IL public-school students across CPS, with plans to reach 562 sites citywide.
When choosing where to start builds in Chicago, I pushed to prioritize South & West Side communities first—for my whole life I've seen them underserved on cellular & cable.
Our work is finally bridging that digital divide & building a more equitable future for kids & neighborhoods, just like electricity & plumbing did generations ago!

We talk a lot about "infrastructure" and "latency" in this industry. But at the end of the day, the reliability of networks comes down to people.
We build underground to protect the fiber. We hire the best to perfect it.

You see the medals.
You don’t see the years of training behind them.
Just like you see lightning-fast trading, real-time data, and seamless connectivity in Chicago and throughout the Midwest—but not the fiber infrastructure beneath the streets making it possible.
#olympics
Fun fact: a single strand of fiber can carry more data than every copper cable in a downtown high-rise combined—while sipping way less power and ignoring blizzards.
We're not just connecting Chicago… we're future-proofing it. #Crosstownfiber#datacenters#fiberinfrastructure@ChicagoQuantum@CrosstownFiber #Chicagoland #Chicagotech
@jclillig2 Thanks for noticing, our deployment of fiber optic infrastructure for broadband connectivity in the city (often in underserved or specific neighborhoods like Budlong Woods on the northwest side). We're proud to be Chicago-rooted, building a fully underground dark fiber network since 2022—diverse routes, no poles, true redundancy to eliminate single points of failure. This powers enterprises, schools, data centers, and future-proof connectivity for AI, fintech, and more across the city. Spotting us in Budlong Woods means the groundwork is reaching every corner! #CrosstownFiber #ChicagoTech @ChicagoQuantum #connectivity, #fiber
