Alpheus Communications, a provider of Texas metro-regional fibre and networking solutions, will invest more than US$10 million this year to expand its workforce and fibre network to support its new market of selling high-bandwidth services directly to Texas businesses. The Houston-based company expects its workforce to grow by more than 30% this year as customer service, sales and technical staff are added to support Alpheus’ growth plans.

Alpheus is launching into the enterprise market from a strong foundation – since 2001, America’s largest telecom carriers have relied on Alpheus’ fibre network to serve their Texas customers. Alpheus will now use its extensive network and management expertise to sell directly to businesses in Texas’ largest metro areas, including Houston, Dallas, Fort Worth, Austin and San Antonio.
