Everstream Solutions LLC is being sold to AMP Capital, which will use the super-regional network service provider as a platform for its North American telecom businesses. Terms were not disclosed.
“Communications infrastructure has become an essential service in the modern world, including fiber, wireless and data centers,” said Dylan Foo, head of Americas Infrastructure Equity at AMP. “AMP Capital has a strong global pedigree in this target sector, and we are pleased to secure our first North American fiber asset.”
The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2018, pending regulatory approval. Everstream, which provides fiber-based Ethernet, internet and data center solutions to businesses throughout the Midwest, plans to utilize the investment from AMP Capital for acquisitions and to fund organic network growth and development.
