Charlotte-based Ripple Fiber has completed the integration of HyperFiber, unifying HyperFiber’s operations into Ripple Fiber and bringing its customers in Arkansas, Colorado, and Florida onto the Ripple Fiber platform and brand.
In Ripple Fiber’s announcement this week, Dan Kennedy, the former CEO of HyperFiber, said the move enhances capabilities and broadens service for HyperFiber’s loyal customers, noting that the Ripple Fiber branding will appear on vehicles, at events, and at local offices across the newly served markets.
Greg Wilson, the founder and CEO of Ripple Fiber, framed the merger as a key step in a deliberate growth plan. He cited Ripple Fiber’s goal to create 1.5 million new passings—locations where fiber is available for deployment—across 15 states over the next five years, signaling a coast-to-coast expansion trajectory.
Ripple Fiber highlighted its rising financial firepower, noting a 350 million dollar credit facility secured in May to underpin these expansion efforts, with Broadband Communities reporting the facility at the time.
The company also counts the BridgeNET Fiber acquisition among recent strategic moves, adding roughly 18,000 passings to Ripple Fiber’s footprint and accelerating growth in the region, per Ripple Fiber.
As Ripple Fiber moves forward, officials underscore its standing as one of the country’s fastest-growing independent fiber-to-the-home providers and an ongoing commitment to expanding its nationwide operations.
