As part of a 20-year contract award with a hyperscaler, Ritter Communications will be expanding their high-capacity, long-haul fiber network to Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Ritter Communications announced the news this week, stating that connection to Tulsa will extend from Little Rock, located several hundred miles east.
The provider also said the network will provide “next-generation services to new and existing markets along the route.”
Meanwhile, Oklahoma will become the seventh state Ritter Communications has expanded to, the release stated.
Ritter Communications CEO Heath Simpson said his company is excited to continue their strong growth trajectory.
“This network build connects two growing markets and is designed to address the demand we are seeing for residential and commercial services along with customized infrastructure solutions that support our hyperscaler partner’s artificial intelligence (AI) initiatives,” Simpson said.
According to Ritter Communications, the project will be completed by the end of next month.
The build will include more than 280 miles of underground multi-conduit systems and high-strand count fiber cables, Ritter Communications announced.
