Meta Teams With Lumen to Drive Network Expansion, AI Goals

Lumen Technologies has partnered with Meta to help increase Meta’s network capacity and drive its AI goals. 

That expanded network is expected to help strengthen and increase Meta’s AI development while providing a dedicated interconnection to its infrastructure. 

"We're enabling one of the biggest expansions of network capacity in our lifetime," said Ashley Haynes-Gaspar, Lumen executive vice president and chief revenue officer. "We've transformed our company to meet this demand. As Meta's customers use more AI services across its platforms, we're helping provide Meta with a seamless, effortless and flexible network that will meet its growing needs."  

Lumen said the partnership offers Meta greater flexibility through secure, on-demand bandwidth to meet its complex computing demands and serve billions of people daily.

"Our AI tools are performing increasingly more complex tasks including enabling conversations in a variety of languages and translating text to images in real time, while helping people interact with the world around them in new, immersive ways,” said Alex-Handrah Aimé, director of Meta Network Investments. “We are excited to work with Lumen to use this advanced network to provide scale and reliability for seamless experiences.”
