Albany, NY – May 5, 2026 – FirstLight, a leading provider of digital infrastructure and technology solutions in the Northeast, today announced that First Commonwealth Federal Credit Union has selected FirstLight to provide Internet service to the majority of its Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania area branches.

First Commonwealth selected FirstLight for its ability to deliver reliable, low-latency connectivity backed by responsive, local support. As more members rely on digital services and real-time access to financial tools, maintaining consistent performance across branches and applications is a key priority. FirstLight’s network is designed to keep locations online and transactions moving without disruption, helping First Commonwealth deliver a seamless member experience.

First Commonwealth also selected FirstLight’s Brunswick, Maine Data Center for colocation and disaster recovery services.

“We arrived at the Brunswick Data Center at 2 a.m. to install our gear and needed assistance,” said Mason Reimert, First Commonwealth Assistant Vice President, IT Infrastructure. “FirstLight’s NOC was immediately available to help us. Most providers we’ve dealt with would have had us wait until the next day’s normal business hours. FirstLight’s customer service and responsiveness stood out compared to our past experiences.”

“Our organization requires a trusted Internet provider to ensure our members are able to conduct transactions quickly and seamlessly at any hour of the day,” added Reimert. “Financial strength aside, a credit union is only as good as its ability to connect with its members.”

FirstLight’s Brunswick Data Center provides a secure, resilient environment with geographic separation from First Commonwealth’s primary operations, while remaining accessible within a day’s drive. FirstLight’s Brunswick Data Center is a SOC 2 Type 2-certified facility and is compliant with Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS) and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), with multi-layered physical security, redundant power, and diverse network connectivity.

“It was important to find a data center that was far enough away from our branches to provide a secure location in the event of a natural disaster or other emergency, but close enough to allow access to our data and servers within a day’s drive,” said Reimert.

“Financial institutions depend on technology that works without interruption, and they need a provider they can count on when it matters most,” said John Romagnoli, FirstLight’s Vice President, Product & Marketing. “By delivering both the network and data center infrastructure, we help simplify operations, reduce vendor complexity, and give organizations like First Commonwealth the confidence to keep moving forward.”
