Delta Fiber, which was acquired by design and engineering firm EPC earlier this year, is now promoting feasibility models that combine practical route evaluation, market validation, and financial modeling.
The company’s CEO, Caleb Etheridge, says Delta Fiber’s new offering stands out in a fast-moving fiber-to-the-home industry.
“ISPs can’t take weeks and months to prospect, design, and model the economics of a potential network build anymore,” he said. “By the time they do, the competition has already broke ground and began locking up subscribers to multi-year commitments; so, kiss your take rates goodbye.”
According to Etheridge, Delta Fiber’s feasibility model can reduce the entire process “down to mere days,” bringing what he called “board-level investment thesis” within days of pointing to a spot on the map.
He also said a unified data model truly eliminates risk.
“The sleep well at night our product creates is through our ability to stand behind the numbers we place inside the model itself,” he said.
As reported earlier this year, EPC’s decision to acquire Delta Fiber was labeled as a strategic move.
Both companies are based in Louisiana, and Delta Fiber is maintained as a wholly owned separate operating company from EPC.
EPC’s release in July explained the importance of Delta Fiber’s work.
“Delta Fiber utilizes the latest technology to produce detailed network maps and bills of materials for internet service providers, along with expedient permit acquisition services, the firm enables efficient, accurate, and scalable broadband deployment.”
