US Signal expands national infrastructure footprint

This $200 million capital expenditure program, driven by market demand and supported by Igneo Infrastructure Partners, positions US Signal as a leader in cloud, colocation and next-generation AI infrastructure.

The company is adding 3 megawatts (MW) of commercial power at its Detroit Metro Data Center and 6 MW at its Des Moines Data Center, creating two of the most power-dense and scalable facilities in their respective regions. US Signal is tailoring its expansions for hyperscalers, cloud providers and enterprise customers that need high-density power and cooling infrastructure capable of supporting modern AI and edge workloads.

In parallel, US Signal is constructing more than 1,000 miles of new fiber and conduit, creating a high-capacity, ultra-dense backbone to power AI and cloud applications at scale. As AI adoption accelerates, existing infrastructure across much of the United States lacks the network density and latency performance needed for real-time inference, training and edge computing. US Signal is solving this challenge by building the AI network of the future, a purpose-built, fiber-first platform designed to support national-scale digital transformation.

This next-generation infrastructure will include micro-edge data centers for fiber regeneration and colocation with edge-to-core performance. These enhancements are part of a broader strategy to support AI computing, inference and consolidated edge deployments for US Signal’s growing customer base.

“We’re building far more than just additional capacity, we’re building the digital foundation for the next decade of AI, cloud and edge computing,” said Daniel Watts, CEO of US Signal. “As enterprises and hyperscalers look beyond the core to deploy scalable, low-latency infrastructure, US Signal is delivering the power, proximity and performance required to meet that demand—regionally and nationally.”

“We see US Signal as a cornerstone digital infrastructure platform in the United States, with the right assets, leadership and long-term strategy to meet the rising demand for AI, cloud and edge connectivity,” said Michael Ryder, Chairman of the Board for US Signal and Partner and Co-Head of North America at Igneo Infrastructure Partners. “This investment reflects our commitment from US Signal and Igneo, to build critical infrastructure that delivers sustainable value to enterprises, hyperscalers and service providers nationwide.”

These investments mark a major step in US Signal’s leadership as a national infrastructure provider, with the ability to support everything from enterprise cloud and colocation to distributed

AI inference at the edge—all built on a foundation of ultra-dense fiber and strategically located power-dense data centers.
