Archtop Fiber, a 2022-founded startup focused on rebuilding broadband providers with all-fiber networks in underserved markets, completed its third acquisition in five months, buying Warwick Valley Telephone with plans to upgrade its network operating in New York's Orange County, the Mid-Hudson Valley and northwestern New Jersey.
Led by longtime cable operator and entrepreneur Jeff DeMond with other senior executives who trace their broadband experience back to Bresnan Communications, Archtop Fiber earlier acquired GTel, of Germantown, New York, and Hancock Telephone, of Hancock, New York. It's also building a new broadband network in Kingston, New York, in partnership with the city government. Archtop is backed by Post Road Group and made the stock-purchase acquisition of WVT with Momentum Telecom, the companies said in a release.
