Amazon has signed a multibillion-dollar agreement with Corning to supply optical fiber and networking technology for its rapidly expanding U.S. data center network, underscoring the growing demand for infrastructure powering artificial intelligence.

🤝
According to a joint statement from the companies, the long-term deal will support the construction and connectivity of Amazon’s AI-focused data centers while creating about 1,000 jobs at Corning’s manufacturing facilities in North Carolina.

The agreement will also expand Corning’s training programs for fiber-optic technicians.

The report said optical fiber has become a critical component of AI infrastructure because it enables high-speed communication between data centers, servers and advanced chips.

The deal comes as technology giants race to build AI capacity across the United States.

💼
Amazon Web Services CEO Matt Garman said the company’s investments in North Carolina have already created more than 26,000 jobs, while Amazon committed $10 billion last year for new data center projects in the state.

Corning said the partnership strengthens American manufacturing and supports efforts to build a more resilient domestic AI supply chain.

The company has also secured major AI-related commitments from Nvidia and Meta as demand for optical networking technology accelerates.
