DAY 1
Networks that know
all the shortcuts.
To get new services to market faster, it takes a network that knows who
needs what resources and how to self-adjust on the fly–automatically.
Your ideas. Connected.

lpheus Communications announced the
second phase of fiber expansion in Austin,
Dallas and Houston extending the existing
fiber network to an additional 3,000 build-
ings; bringing the total near-net building count to just
more than 6,000.
With this expansion, the Alpheus fiber network would
reach more than 40,000 businesses in these fast growing
business markets. The latest expansion includes down-
town Austin, with the addition of more than 1,800 near-
net buildings in the central business district.
Alpheus’ fiber expansion project, which was
announced last June, leverages its fiber-connected
network of 300-plus points-of-presence (PoPs) and
central offices (COs) to connect quickly to end-user
business locations.
The company’s PoPs and COs are built as aggrega-
tion points from which Alpheus can extend its fiber
efficiently. The broad coverage of the Alpheus network
enables the company to stay in close proximity to a
large number of businesses, delivering faster, more
reliable fiber connections.
“Fiber networks are increasingly sought out by
businesses because they provide superior quality
and incredibly high bandwidth options,” said
Alpheus CEO Scott Widham. “With this expansion
project, we are investing to provide Texas busi-
nesses the network infrastructure they need for
their Internet, voice, video and cloud solutions now
and in the future.
“Initially, we focused on Houston and Dallas, now
we are adding the Austin market based on demand,”
Widham continued. “We look forward to continuing
our expansion and bringing high-speed fiber access to
more Texas businesses.”
Alpheus Communications is a leading provider of
Texas metro-regional fiber and networking solutions.
It owns facilities in Austin, Corpus Christi, Dallas-
Fort Worth, Houston, the Rio Grande Valley and San
Antonio. The company is flexible, content-neutral and
responsive to customer needs when low-latency and
uptime are essential.
As the preferred fiber backbone for Metro Texas,
Alpheus is in a unique position to support mission-
critical information technology functions and cloud
computing solutions through its resilient SSAE
16-compliant data center platforms for colocation
and disaster recovery.
