WIN Express-Core

Scalable Fiber Infrastructure Connecting Minneapolis to Chicago

The WIN Express-Core is a next-generation, high-capacity fiber backbone engineered to connect the Midwest’s most critical data centers and interconnection points. With a fully scalable micro-duct system and large-count fiber infrastructure, it enables rapid expansion, direct data-center spurs, and ultra-low-latency solutions for organizations that cannot afford to compromise.

Why WIN’s Express-Core Is Different

  • Fastest, newest, and most diverse route between Minneapolis and Chicago: Purpose-built to deliver sub-optimal latency and avoid legacy congestion points.
  • Highest-capacity dark fiber system available in Wisconsin: Designed for massive scale with modern construction, not legacy patchwork.
  • Micro-duct enabled for maximum distribution efficiency: Micro-duct system provides separation, simplified expansion, and dedicated pathway.
  • Build-to-suit flexibility: Dedicated laterals, data center spurs, and tailored lease and IRU structures based on specific needs.
