DLT Networks, Inc. was incorporated in June of 2003,
as a Texas "C" corporation. B4 Venture an
investment company and Siddhi LLC a manufacturing facility,
in addition to a group of its investors and principals
invested the initial stage venture capital into the
company. DLT's mission is to provide wireless broadband
services to serve schools, colleges, universities and
other educational institutions in NE Texas .
DLT received a loan commitment from USDA under their Distance Learning Telemedicine Program to serve towns with population of less than 20,000. Accordingly DLT will be serving more than 129 towns located in 26 counties in NE Texas by the end of June 2005.
DLT ‘s founders realized that the rural area is not
an attractive investment for the larger companies such
as big bell companies. It requires large investment
to lay cable and fibers for DSL or Cable services. While
DLT will be using Allumera solution that is a wireless
solution and reaches 75 miles or more from one hub using
repeaters and collectors. Thus Allumera solution outperforms
other competitors in deployment cost, ease of expansion
and cost of services that is evident from following
graph.
DLT has acquired all of the towers needed to serve their coverage area. DLT has finished the installation in Van, Lindale, Terrell, Forney, Longview , and Kaufman , TX . It will continue building its networks and expects to finish it by the end of March 05.
