Lyte Fiber Unveils Revolutionary Multi-Gigabit Network in Kingsville, Texas
Lyte Fiber, LLC has officially announced a transformative investment in Kingsville, Texas, with plans to create a cutting-edge multi-gigabit fiber network aimed at improving connectivity for both homes and businesses. This initiative represents an investment exceeding $11 million, which will significantly enhance the digital infrastructure in the Coastal Bend area, ultimately providing residents and businesses with unmatched speed, reliability, and service.
Key Features of the New Network
One standout aspect of the Kingsville network is its robust infrastructure. A majority of the fiber will be installed underground, making it one of the most reliable and storm-resilient networks in Texas. This underground setup will help ensure that internet services remain uninterrupted, even during extreme weather conditions.
Carter Old, CEO of Lyte Fiber, emphasized this commitment, stating, "We’re not just building a multi-gig fiber network; we're future-proofing Kingsville's connectivity. Our underground infrastructure ensures that even in extreme weather, Kingsville stays connected – rain or shine."
Supporting Local Community Growth
Kingsville is significant for its economic and cultural heritage, being home to the Kingsville Naval Air Station, Texas A&M University – Kingsville, and the renowned King Ranch. Lyte Fiber aims to support local growth by providing advanced connectivity that meets the community's specific needs. Mayor Sam Fugate expressed excitement about this project, hoping it would spark new opportunities for residents and businesses alike.
Construction is already underway, and the first customer activations are expected to occur in early spring. In this first phase, around 7,500 locations will be connected, with plans for further market expansion, including the installation of over 100 miles of fiber optic cable throughout Kingsville.
Community Engagement and Commitment
To further engage the community, a public forum is scheduled for January 22 at 5:30 PM. This forum will provide insights into the construction process and allow residents to ask questions. Lyte Fiber is committed to transparency and customer-first service, aiming to redefine the internet experience for the residents of Kingsville.
Kyle Benson, Director of IT for Kingsville, noted the longstanding need for enhanced connectivity, which his department has been addressing for several years. Following a feasibility study and needs assessment, it became evident that high-speed internet was essential to support multiple users and devices simultaneously.
Proactive Community Contributions
In addition to enhancing connectivity, Lyte Fiber plans to contribute to local charities and organizations, pledging 1 percent of its annual profits towards causes that matter to the community. Old highlighted that the goal extends beyond merely offering fast internet and exceptional customer service; it’s also about investing in the future of Kingsville and fostering community partnerships.
"This isn't just about fast internet and great customer service," he stated. "It's about investing in the future of Kingsville and being an active partner in the community."
As the company prepares to launch its services, residents can look forward to a new era of internet connectivity characterized by speed, reliability, and community involvement. With Lyte Fiber leading this initiative, Kingsville's digital landscape is poised for significant transformation.
