South Reach Networks
About South Reach Networks
South Reach Networks (SRN) is a Florida-based telecommunications infrastructure provider focused on dark fiber, managed/lit fiber, and edge colocation along Florida’s east coast from Miami to Jacksonville. SRN states it owns and operates a 100% underground metro and long-haul fiber network spanning roughly 370 route miles, and it also markets five (5) carrier-class, data center–neutral colocation facilities (edge POP / meet-me-room style) located approximately every ~60 miles along the route.
A major recent milestone is SRN’s announced acquisition (Intermetro Fiber LLC d/b/a South Reach Networks) by a fund managed by Blue Owl Capital’s Digital Infrastructure strategy (July 15, 2025).
