New Era Energy & Digital, Inc. (NASDAQ:NUAI) ("New Era" or the "Company"), formerly New Era Helium, Inc. today announced that Texas Critical Data Centers LLC ("TCDC"), its 50/50 joint venture with Sharon AI, Inc. ("Sharon AI") has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with GlobeLink Holdings, LLC ("GlobeLink") to develop a transformative 1,600-mile fiber optic network spanning the state of Texas.

The new system is expected to deliver one of the region's largest and fastest digital backbones, purpose-built for artificial intelligence (AI), hyperscale, and cloud workloads. With sub-5 millisecond latency and more than 30 terabits per second (Tbps) of capacity per fiber pair, the network is designed to handle high-performance computing and mission-critical applications. Texas Critical Data Centers' flagship campus intends to connect directly to GlobeLink's carrier-neutral infrastructure, providing scalability, redundancy, and open access for a wide range of users.

GlobeLink's expansive infrastructure will include 2,400 miles of terrestrial and subsea fiber, linking key cities such as Mexico City, Corpus Christi, Odessa, San Antonio, Austin, and Dallas. Leveraging state-of-the-art Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) technology, the network is designed to deliver over 30 Tbps per fiber pair with ultra-low latency, supporting hyperscaler interconnects, AI data processing, cloud services, and critical internet infrastructure. This landmark expansion is expected to transform connectivity in West Texas and surrounding regions. By combining world-class data center capabilities with next-generation fiber infrastructure, the collaboration aims to close critical connectivity gaps, empower underserved communities, and position Texas as a premier hub for advanced digital infrastructure in North America.

The MOU was facilitated by Global Connect Enterprises, Inc., which helped TCDC and GlobeLink advance the development of this landmark fiber project and marks a major milestone for New Era Energy & Digital. The Company is executing on its strategy to deploy full-scale digital infrastructure at its West Texas complex, which is expected to grow beyond 1 GW and host multiple tenants. This announcement follows previously disclosed agreements to construct power infrastructure and deliver digital zero-carbon power supply at the site.
