RightFiber to Acquire Ruston Fiber Network

RightFiber, a brand of Ritter Communications, agreed in principle to acquire the City of Ruston’s fiber optic broadband network in Louisiana. The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2025. RightFiber will continue serving existing business customers at that time. Ruston Mayor Ronny Walker said, “RightFiber’s personal approach and future-minded vision set them apart as a service provider. As a dedicated municipal partner, RightFiber is invested in the success and growth of our community.” “This acquisition represents our commitment to delivering future-proof technology to Ruston’s thriving community and expands our company’s operations into the vibrant northern Louisiana area,” Ritter Communications CEO Heath Simpson said. “We plan to expand our 100% fiber network not only within the business community, but to Ruston residential neighborhoods as well, positioning the area as a regional broadband leader and making it a Gigabit City.”
