COLUMBIA, S.C., April 30,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- STL [NSE: STLTECH], a
leading optical and digital solutions company, today announced
its successful partnership with Archtop Fiber, supporting the
development of Archtop's expansive multi-gigabit fiber Internet
network spanning over 2,500 miles across the Northeast region of
the United States. Over the past
two years, the companies have been working together, developing
mission-critical optical solutions tailored to bring the fastest,
most reliable Internet solutions to underserved markets across
New York's Hudson Valley and
beyond.
STL has also signed a new agreement with Archtop Fiber to expand
its offering of optical solutions, bolstering the advancement of
Archtop's network construction. In addition to supplying the
Internet provider with its optical cables featuring high-fiber
count, loose-tube, and ribbon designs, STL will also provide its
signature OptoBlaze and OptoBolt products. STL's OptoBlaze
product is a pre-terminated solution, while OptoBolt is a
simplified plug-in-a-box solution that replaces field labor and
brings modularity to network design. STL used its design innovation
to modify the configuration and deliver smaller form factor
products, while its newly opened Palmetto Plant in Lugoff, South Carolina, ensured faster
deliveries to Archtop's Kingston, New
York, headquarters.
The agreement represents a meaningful synergy that will support
Archtop Fiber's mission to bridge the digital divide in underserved
areas across the Hudson Valley and the Northeast, delivering
long-awaited, state-of-the-art Internet services to empower
communities with tech-driven opportunities. The partnership also
highlights STL's commitment to quality, shorter lead times, and
design innovation to enable this large-scale network rollout.
"STL's ability to deliver high-quality optical products at the
right value was key for us," said Shawn
Beqaj, Chief Development Officer, Archtop Fiber. "We
looked at all the options in the market for advanced optical
solutions with the ability to customize solutions and deploy
rapidly. STL's integrated portfolio aligned perfectly with our
XGS-PON architecture and aggressive project timeline, bringing true
multi-gig broadband service to underserved markets across the
Hudson Valley and Northeastern United States.
STL continues to be a core partner for Archtop, in the
fullest sense of that often-overwrought term."
Commenting on the partnership, Paul
Atkinson, CEO, Optical Networking Business, STL,
said, "Built on a shared intent to connect communities across the
U.S., this partnership has been an incredibly fulfilling one for
us. I am sure our advanced optical solutions will support Archtop
in their journey for years to come."
