"This is an excellent opportunity to help leverage our financial, marketing and operating experience," said Lentz. "We are excited to work closely with INCOMPAS both to help grow and protect the interests of fiber operators."
In January 2018, LOGIX completed its acquisition of INCOMPAS member Alpheus Communications, a provider of metro-regional fiber and networking solutions that owned facilities in the Texas markets of Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin, San Antonio, and Houston (the "DASH" markets). LOGIX now has more than 6,200 route miles of network spanning 225,000 fiber miles, and serves more than 12,500 enterprise and carrier customers across the state. In addition to connecting to more than 80 data centers in Texas, LOGIX operates its own high-performance data center facilities in the DASH markets.
"As the leading fiber network operator in Texas, LOGIX is a great example of how a competitive marketplace can generate significant opportunities to build strong, growing businesses that deliver innovative wholesale and retail services," said INCOMPAS CEO Chip Pickering. "We are proud to welcome LOGIX to INCOMPAS and look forward to the company's active participation on our board, as well as in advocacy efforts and business-building through networking with other service providers and vendors in our membership."
