JACKSON, Mo. (January 26, 2023) – Ritter Communications, the largest privately held telecommunications service provider serving exclusively the Mid-South, is expanding its telecom and advanced cloud solutions to Jackson, Missouri. This $2.3 million project is a self-funded investment to benefit businesses and schools in the Jackson community. This is Ritter Communications second expansion project in Missouri. The company previously announced its first expansion project in the state to Cape Girardeau in October 2022.
“The need for high-quality broadband services continues to increase,” said Ritter Communications CEO Alan Morse. “The services we offer and the solutions that come with them ensure all organizations can continue their day-to-day operations by providing access to tools needed to utilize services previously unreachable.”
Ritter Communications is the first to bring XGS-PON technology to the Jackson area. This technology uses 100% fiber connectivity to power the company’s full suite of reliable high-quality broadband solutions and telecom services with speeds up to 100 gigabits per second. In addition, customers have access to the Ritter Communications Data Technology Center, a world-class, highly secure facility equipped with local customer support teams, offering advanced cloud solutions to meet the unique information security and storage needs of businesses.
“We are pleased to roll out our services to the Jackson business community,” said Ritter Communications Chief Revenue Officer Kyle Keith. “With signals that travel at the speed of light, our 100% fiber high-speed internet connectivity will give Jackson businesses a competitive advantage.”
Construction of this project is scheduled to be completed in February, when businesses may begin to reap the benefits of 100% fiber services.
