Lyte Fiber, a Houston, TX-based fiber internet company, will invest more than $18 million to design, build, and operate a state-of-the-art fiber-optic network that will provide multi-gigabit speeds and unmatched reliability across the community.
Lyte Fiber began working with city officials in early summer on its planned community-wide network build-out that will bring fast and reliable fiber internet service to residents and businesses in Eagle Pass. Lyte’s investment in state-of-the-art fiber infrastructure will strengthen local connectivity, boost economic growth, and expand digital opportunity throughout the city.
“Eagle Pass continues to rise, and today’s announcement is another step toward a stronger future for our families,” said Eagle Pass Mayor Aaron Valdez. “Reliable, high-speed Internet is no longer a luxury – it’s a necessity for education, business, health care, and everyday life. I am grateful to Light Fiber for choosing Eagle Pass and believing in our community’s potential.”
Construction is scheduled to begin shortly, with completion expected in the second half of 2026. Lyte plans to connect nearly 16,500 homes and businesses, spanning more than 175 miles of new fiber infrastructure across Eagle Pass.
The project will create an estimated 35 full-time jobs, and the Company will prioritize local hiring and contracting wherever possible. Additionally, Lyte Fiber has pledged a 1 percent giveback to support local schools, nonprofits, and community programs.
“Eagle Pass is a vibrant city and a vital economic engine for the State of Texas. We’re thrilled to collaborate with the city to provide world-class connectivity,” Old said. “This project goes beyond just building a network; it represents a lasting commitment to the residents and future generations of Eagle Pass.”
Designed for durability, Lyte Fiber’s network will feature ringed architecture and backup generators at every cabinet to keep the city online, even during power outages.
Lyte Fiber’s customer-first model will bring transparent pricing, no hidden fees, and local support.
“Exceptional service means more than just speed; it means being a committed partner to the community and standing by fellow Texans every step of the way,” Old said.
