AZIO AI and AT&T launch 500 MW AI data center campus in Texas with carrier fiber

AZIO AI, a technology infrastructure company focused on developing and operating artificial intelligence data centers and GPU compute infrastructure, has executed a Master Services Agreement with AT&T to provide enterprise fiber connectivity for its initial 500-megawatt Texas AI infrastructure platform.

The agreement establishes a standardized enterprise connectivity framework across AZIO AI's Texas campus development, delivering the high-capacity, low-latency network infrastructure required to support AI training, inference, GPU cloud computing, enterprise colocation, and other high-performance computing workloads. The MSA is expected to streamline network deployment and support the company's hyperscale AI strategy, particularly as it pursues offtaker opportunities. The initiative comes as AZIO AI has already secured a Power Purchase and Hosting agreement with a GPU customer, necessitating accelerated modular development on the property.

This connectivity foundation is critical to AZIO AI's broader hyperscale AI strategy, positioning the campus for future expansion phases. The strategy prioritizes scalable, affordable LNG energy-backed data center capacity designed to meet growing demand for GPU cloud and next-generation AI workloads.

Unlike many urban data center developments that face land-use and community constraints, AZIO AI's initial Texas campus is positioned in an area designated to accommodate large-scale industrial infrastructure.

"Reliable enterprise connectivity is foundational to AI infrastructure," said Sir Elgin Tracy, Chief Operating Officer of AZIO AI. "This agreement establishes the networking framework supporting our initial 500-megawatt Texas AI platform while creating a scalable operating model that can support future expansion as additional projects move forward under our hyperscale AI strategy."
