Aurora, IL, June 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — US Signal, a leading digital infrastructure provider delivering cloud, connectivity, and data center solutions, today announced significant expansion plans for its Aurora, Illinois data center, reinforcing the company’s long-term investment in scalable, secure, and high-performance infrastructure for enterprise and managed service provider (MSP) customers.
The Aurora facility, acquired by US Signal in December 2025, is undergoing a multi-phase infrastructure enhancement designed to substantially increase power capacity, resiliency, and cloud service availability to support accelerating demand for hybrid cloud, AI-ready infrastructure, disaster recovery, and enterprise modernization initiatives.
The announcement comes ahead of US Signal’s upcoming Technology Showcase on June 9th at the Aurora data center, where customers and partners will experience firsthand the latest advancements in cloud infrastructure, cybersecurity, backup and recovery, networking, and data center modernization.
Multi-Phase Expansion to Deliver Increased Capacity and Resiliency
US Signal’s Aurora expansion strategy includes several major infrastructure investments:
Phase 1: Underway in 2026
The initial phase includes a complete UPS system replacement that will more than double the facility’s UPS-supported capacity from approximately 1.35MW to 3MW. Additional cooling infrastructure is also being deployed to support the increased power density and evolving enterprise workloads.
Phase 2: Expanded Utility and Generator Capacity
The second phase will introduce a fourth generator and expanded utility capacity, increasing total commercial power capacity to 6MW and UPS-supported capacity to 4MW. These upgrades will further enhance resiliency and operational scalability for mission-critical environments.
Future Growth Plans
US Signal is actively collaborating on future utility expansion initiatives targeting approximately 8–10MW of total facility capacity, positioning Aurora as a strategic regional hub for high-density enterprise and cloud infrastructure.
In parallel with the power and facility enhancements, US Signal is also completing a new high-capacity network connection between Aurora and Oak Brook, scheduled for completion in September 2026. The company will additionally extend its OpenCloud platform into the Aurora facility, expanding customer access to scalable private cloud services, backup solutions, and enterprise storage offerings.
“Aurora represents a major strategic investment for US Signal and our customers,” said John White, US Signal Chief Operating Officer, “As enterprises reevaluate traditional virtualization platforms, modernize data protection strategies, and prepare for AI-driven infrastructure demands, customers need flexible, resilient, and locally supported alternatives. This expansion enables us to deliver the scale, performance, and ecosystem partnerships required to meet those evolving needs.”
