VTCI adds Second Fiber Optic Community
Roma, Texas

Israel Rodriguez, a real estate developer has big plans for the First Fiber Optic Powered Community, Alta Vista Village in Roma, Texas. "I understand that broadband connectivity is one of those amenities that have become important in homebuyer's minds. Fiber-to-the-home; also know as Fiber-to-the Premise (FTTP), is an advanced broadband system based on fiber-optic cables and associated optical electronics. With fiber optics to the home or business, VTCI will deliver enhanced telephone services and long distance, very high speed broadband Internet access, and Standard Definition and High Definition (HD) television programming for the member.

Rodriguez's Alta Vista Village consists of four commercial lots and 40 residential lots which he hopes will bring an increase in growth to the community. "Fiber optic cable provides the greatest speeds possible into each home," says Rodriguez. Many buyers look at their homes as not
only a place to live, but a place to work.

Additionally, Rodriguez states that not only will this type service enhance the subdivision it will aid nearby schools; giving students the tools they need to be prepared to do what they want when they grow up. And this service does just that by connecting them to the Internet at speeds that
were unheard of five years ago.

Working directly with real estate developers, VTCI provides consulting, design, deployment, installation, and system management expertise to power this technology into new residential subdivisions. As increasingly larger files, such as movies, video clip, and music, are downloaded to homes, high speed is crucial in communications and home entertainment. Homeowners in a FTTH community can anticipate connections to the Internet to be much faster as compared to other technologies such as cable.

In South Texas, VTCI is the leader in fiber optic communications, and in Starr County, Alta Vista Village is the second fiber powered community. In 2005, VTCI implemented FTTH connectivity in the 755 Country Estates development, located north of Rio Grande City. Since then homeowners
in this area have been reaping the benefits of higher speeds. If you would like to obtain site information on Alta Vista Village contact Israel Rodriguez at 956-849-2685 or 956-735-9090.
