Aureon touts 800G wavelength route for AI data centers

Aureon is highlighting its long-haul transport route and positioning wavelength services as the preferred connectivity option for AI data centers.

• Aureon says its Iowa Falls to Chicago route already provides 100Tb of live capacity, with a 400Tb scalable ceiling and an explored path toward 800Tb using its Infinite Capacity Engine technology.
• The article also cites industry context: long-haul dark fiber demand doubled between 2024 and 2025, and Aureon says its route supports wavelength channels up to 800G, which is still described as new territory for the industry.
• A quoted statement from George O’Neal, President and CEO of Aureon, says: “This deployment required a high level of coordination across networks, vendors, and timelines.”
