Construction Has Already Begun, With First
Customer Activations in the Spring
KINGSVILLE, Texas, Jan. 9, 2025
/PRNewswire/ -- Lyte Fiber, LLC ("Lyte") is proud to announce a
bold new investment in Kingsville,
Texas, introducing its state-of-the-art, multi-gigabit fiber
network to homes and businesses. Lyte, a Texas-based and founded company, is investing
more than $11 million into the
network buildout, designed to supercharge the digital
infrastructure of the Coastal Bend region with unmatched speed,
reliability, and service.
What makes Lyte's Kingsville
network stand out? Most of the fiber infrastructure will be buried
underground, making it one of Texas's most reliable and storm-resilient
networks.
"We're not just building a multi-gig fiber network; we're
future-proofing Kingsville's
connectivity," said Carter Old, CEO
of Lyte Fiber. "Our underground infrastructure ensures that even in
extreme weather, Kingsville stays
connected – rain or shine."
"Kingsville, home to Kingsville
Naval Air Station, Texas A&M –
Kingsville, and the King Ranch, is
integral to the Coastal Bend's vibrant heritage and economy. Lyte
is proud to contribute to the community's growth by delivering
cutting-edge connectivity that meets its unique needs," Old
added.
Construction within Kingsville
has already commenced, with the first customers anticipated to come
online in early Spring. In this initial phase, Lyte will connect
nearly 7,500 locations, with plans for further market expansion.
Lyte is set to install over 100 miles of fiber optic cable across
Kingsville.
"Kingsville is thrilled to
welcome Lyte Fiber to our community," said Kingsville Mayor Sam
Fugate. "We hope their investment in cutting-edge
connectivity will bring new opportunities for our residents and
businesses alike."
A community forum will be held at 5:30
p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 22, to provide an overview of the
construction process and answer questions from the public. Further
details will be forthcoming.
Kingsville Director of IT
Kyle Benson has been working toward
bringing increased connectivity to the community for several years.
"The City has recognized the growing need for high-speed internet
that supports multiple users and devices simultaneously for some
time now. In 2022, my department worked with a consultant to
complete a feasibility study and needs assessment for fiber
development in the community. The study determined there was an
obvious need, and Lyte Fiber's project represents a step toward
meeting it."
Lyte is equally committed to supporting the communities it
serves. The company is pledging 1 percent of its annual profits to
local charities and organizations, focusing on causes that matter
most to its customers.
"This isn't just about fast internet and great customer
service," Old added. "It's about investing in the future of
Kingsville and being an active
partner in the community."
Lyte promises transparency and customer-first service, aiming to
redefine the internet experience for Kingsville residents and businesses.
"No fine print, no surprises – just ultra-fast, reliable
internet," said Old. "We're making it simple for Kingsville to get connected and stay
connected."
