PorchLight Communications to Provide Fiber Optic Services to Saddleback Ridge Condominiums

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE--February 25, 2005

Colorado Springs, Colo. – February 25, 2005  – PorchLight Communications announced today that it has been selected to provide fiber optic network services to Saddleback Ridge Condominiums. An advanced fiber optic infrastructure allows efficient delivery of next generation IP communication services such as local and long distance telephone service, high speed internet access, home security and DirecTV Digital Television under one billing platform, on a single network.

Under the terms of the contract, PorchLight Communications will be the exclusive provider of local and long distance services along with Internet access, home security, and DirecTV digital television under one billing platform. 

“Our agreement with Saddleback Ridge Condominiums was reached largely due to our strong partnership with the developer, Colorado Coastal Development Company.  CCDC had a vision to deploy next generation communications and infrastructure to their residents.” said Robert Athey, CEO of PorchLight Communications.  

“With an eye to the future, we have elected to partner with PorchLight Communications to provide fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) in our neighborhoods – offering the most reliable and secure communications infrastructure available today.  Saddleback Ridge offers homeowners the highest quality, state of the art fiber optic communications services at a significant savings.  By building a fiber optic infrastructure, Saddleback Ridge has eliminated the limitations of copper wiring, brining reliable, ultra-high bandwidth right into our residents' living rooms.” said Lowell Moore, Managing Partner of Colorado Coastal Development Company.

“Besides the convenience of a single service provider bringing the residents of Saddleback Ridge local and long distance phone service, digital television, home security and ultra high-speed internet access, the fiber optic infrastructure allows transport for future technologies that where once restricted by the limitations of copper networks.  The limits of fiber aren't even known.  Every generation of fiber optic technology increases network speed substantially, using the same exact fiber as the previous generation.  This “future proofing” adds value to the home.” said Corey Smith, CTO of Porchlight Communications.
