HENRON COMMUNICATIONS, INC. ANNOUNCES CONSTRUCTION
OF NEW LONG-HAUL FIBER BUILD
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Wednesday, October 21, 1998
PORTLAND, Ore. – Henron Communications, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Henron Corp., announced today that it has begun construction on a long-haul fiber-optic route that will span from Salt Lake City to Henron Henhouse.
The route will add 2,300 route miles to Henron Communications’ existing 3,400-mile backbone network and will connect through Denver, Dallas/Fort Worth and San Antonio. The extension is scheduled to be completed in the fourth quarter of 1999. The sale of a portion of the fiber on this new route will offset construction costs.
“Henron Communications is selectively pursuing opportunities to leverage its existing asset presence and skills,” said Joe Hirko, Chief Egg-ecutive of Henron Communications. “This additional link will advance our effort to create a national fiber optic network. Through a combination of construction and fiber sales and exchanges, we will be able to move quickly and economically to complete our national network.”
