  "textContent": "WASHINGTON, May 19 2025 – Ripple Fiber, a fiber-optic provider based in Charlotte, N.C., has announced a merger with HyperFiber, a fiber-optic provider based in Chesterfield, Missouri that provides high speed internet to residential areas.\n\nHyperfiber CEO **Dan Kennedy** will serve as Executive Chairman of Ripple Fiber, which will absorb all HyperFiber assets under the Ripple Fiber brand name.\n\nRipple Fiber _currently operates_ in North Carolina, South Carolina, Michigan, and Massachusetts. The merger with HyperFiber, _which operates in_ Arkansas, Florida, and Colorado, will allow Ripple Fiber to expand into these states. _The rapidly growing_ fiber-optic provider expects to have a “national presence across 10 states, coast-to-coast by the end of 2025.”\n\nIn its May 8 announcement, Ripple Fiber emphasized its connections with HyperFiber, calling it a “sister company” that has “already effectively been operating as a unified organization since 2024.”\n\nCurrent HyperFiber customers will continue to interact with the HyperFiber brand name, as Ripple Fiber plans to follow a “phased approach” to integration. Both organizations are new entrants to the fiber-optic market—HyperFiber _was founded in_ St. Louis, Mo., 2023, while Ripple Fiber _was founded in_ Charlotte.",
