Delta Fiber, the Louisiana-based company acquired by EPC earlier this year, is rolling out a structured feasibility offering that blends practical route evaluation, market validation, and financial modeling to produce a board-ready investment thesis within days.
CEO Caleb Etheridge warned that ISPs cannot wait weeks to design a network, saying, “ISPs can’t take weeks and months to prospect, design, and model the economics of a potential network build anymore. By the time they do, the competition has already broke ground and begun locking up subscribers to multi-year commitments; so, kiss your take rates goodbye.”
Etheridge asserts the feasibility model can shrink the entire process to mere days, and that a unified data model helps eliminate risk by ensuring the numbers inside the model are auditable and consistent.
EPC, in a July release, described Delta Fiber’s capabilities as producing detailed network maps and bills of materials for internet service providers, along with permit acquisition services that accelerate deployment.
Delta Fiber continues to operate as a wholly owned, separate subsidiary with both EPC and Delta Fiber based in Louisiana, a strategic move EPC cited as a way to sharpen its fiber deployment capabilities across markets.
