Fiber broadband provider Lumos has announced it will expand its network into Indiana.

The state will become the tenth market for Lumos' network footprint.

Lumos said it will deploy fiber Internet to Clark and Floyd Counties, building more than 1,200 miles of fiber Internet across the state.

The company said its fiber optic network will be available to more than 81,000 addresses in the cities of Charlestown, Jeffersonville, and New Albany and the towns of Sellersburg and Clarksville.

"This expansion connects more families and businesses to the reliable connectivity needed to thrive in today’s digital world," said Lumos CEO Brian Stading. "As we grow our footprint in the Midwest, Lumos remains committed to empowering Hoosier [a nickname for people from Indiana] communities and fostering a brighter future for everyone we serve."

Earlier this month, Lumos outlined fiber expansion plans for Georgia, just weeks after unveiling similar plans in Florida.

Lumos operates in Virginia, where it is based, as well as North Carolina, and South Carolina, while it has plans to deploy its fiber in Florida, Georgia, Ohio, Kentucky, Alabama, Illinois, and now Indiana.

T-Mobile announced last year that it agreed to acquire Lumos as part of a joint venture (JV) with EQT Infrastructure from EQT’s predecessor fund, EQT Infrastructure III.

Lumos will transition to a wholesale model, while T-Mobile will serve as the anchor tenant.
