Archtop closes WVT acquisition, expands to New Jersey

Archtop Fiber closed its acquisition of New York-based Warwick Valley Telephone (WVT), marking the provider’s third acquisition in five months as it continues expanding in the northeast US. With WVT under its belt, Archtop will serve customers in New York’s Orange County, the Mid-Hudson Valley and northwestern New Jersey with an XGS-PON network. Archtop will overlash fiber onto WVT’s existing lines and rebrand the company to WVT Fiber. The acquisition came via a stock purchase agreement with Momentum Telecom, WVT’s previous owner and a provider of managed cloud communications services. Archtop is now the full owner of WVT and it also plans to leverage Momentum’s cloud voice solutions in its greenfield markets. The WVT buy follows Archtop’s acquisitions of Hancock Telephone and GTel, both based in New York state.
