RightFiber, a Ritter Communications brand, unveiled plans to construct a new fiber network in El Dorado, Arkansas, backed by a $5 million investment intended to deliver faster, more reliable internet to local residents and businesses.
The network is expected to offer residential speeds up to 5 Gbps and business connections up to 100 Gbps. Rollout will be phased across several neighborhoods, with residents notified by door tags, mail, yard signs and direct outreach from a local team.
“El Dorado has been an incredibly welcoming community. We’re excited to connect residents and businesses to RightFiber’s next-generation high-speed internet to support education and community growth,” said Heath Simpson, RightFiber’s CEO.
Officials described the infrastructure as “future-proof” and designed to support remote work, smart-home devices, online commerce and gaming. As part of its local commitment, RightFiber previously donated $10,000 to the United Way of Union County to celebrate entry into El Dorado.
RightFiber is a brand of Ritter Communications, a Jonesboro-based company with a history spanning more than 115 years. Ritter delivers broadband, telecom, video and data center services across the Southern United States. El Dorado, the county seat of Union County, marks a growth milestone for the company as it expands service and enhances customer experience.
