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.

Hyperfiber CEO **Dan Kennedy** will serve as Executive Chairman of Ripple Fiber, which will absorb all HyperFiber assets under the Ripple Fiber brand name. 

Ripple Fiber [currently operates](https://ripplefiber.com/areas-we-serve?ref=broadbandbreakfast.com) in North Carolina, South Carolina, Michigan, and Massachusetts. The merger with HyperFiber, [which operates in](https://hyperfiber.com/areas-we-serve?ref=broadbandbreakfast.com) Arkansas, Florida, and Colorado, will allow Ripple Fiber to expand into these states. [The rapidly growing](https://broadbandbreakfast.com/ripple-fiber-expands-high-speed-internet-in-north-carolina/) fiber-optic provider expects to have a “national presence across 10 states, coast-to-coast by the end of 2025.”

In 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.” 

Current HyperFiber customers will continue to interact with the HyperFiber brand name, as Ripple Fiber plans to follow a “phased approach” to integration.
