Alpheus Launches Fiber-to-the-Business Service in Dallas

HOUSTON and DALLAS – Alpheus Communications, a Texas provider of metro-regional fiber and networking solutions, expanded its enterprise services portfolio in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and opened a sales office in Dallas. Alpheus has also on-boarded a new division manager, hired 10 experienced telecommunications professionals and launched a suite of enterprise service offerings that support business telecommunication functions.

Since 2000, large telecom carriers have relied on Alpheus’ fiber network to serve their Texas customers, and Alpheus is now offering the same carrier-grade, low-latency services directly to businesses. The strong DFW economy and thriving business community is driving the fast-growing need for high-quality networking solutions in northern Texas.

With a fully redundant and resilient core fiber network, Alpheus’ newly added enterprise services includes Metro Ethernet, MPLS, E-LAN and business-class voice services. All services provide the performance and uptime guarantee required for mission-critical data, voice and video traffic. Multiple data centers with scalable connectivity to Alpheus's fiber network and SSAE-16 compliant platform provide a secured, scalable and redundant infrastructure for disaster recovery and business continuity applications.

The newly available enterprise network services are geared toward businesses looking to connect multiple locations, implement bandwidth-intensive applications and/or streamline the complexity of network management. Alpheus’ expansion in DFW is part of a strategic initiative to solidify its presence in the enterprise market and expand into additional Texas and contiguous markets.
