Ripple Fiber to expand fiber optic service to 60,000 Michigan residents
(UI) – Ripple Fiber, a fiber optic internet provider based in the Southeast, announced plans to move into the Michigan market after receiving support from local officials to move forward with an expansive build.
Ripple Fiber anticipates the start of construction to take place in the coming months and aims to begin launching service for over 60,000 Wayne County residents by 2025, while continuing to actively explore expansion opportunities in the surrounding area. This milestone marks Ripple Fiber’s entrance into the Midwest region.
Driving digital transformation across the world, fiber internet is a powerful solution that functions at the speed of light. It transmits data through light pulses and is less susceptible to outside interference, making the fiber optic connections uniquely durable and strong.
“When we began the exploration process in early 2024, we quickly identified Wayne County as an optimal entrance point for us to expand into Michigan,” says Greg Wilson, CEO of Ripple Fiber.
“Through our partnership with local officials, Ripple Fiber understands the expectations of this new project and is committed to offering exceptional fiber internet service to residents.”
