RTEC Communications

RTEC Communications, Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Ridgeville Telephone Company. RTEC was incorporated in 1990 and began serving the community of Ridgeville Corners with Cable TV service. At that time, the company offered 24 channels to 140 customers. In 2001, the company expanded the company's services to Archbold. Today, after an exten... sive upgrade, the company now offer 100 channels. RTEC not only offers cable TV but also offers cable modem high speed Internet service. In 2003, the company expanded even further by offering services to Burlington and Elmira. RTEC Communications has created a fiber based Ethernet/Transparent LAN Data network over the Four County area. The counties include Fulton, Henry, Defiance and the eastern portion of Williams County. The Ethernet Data network prevents Northwest Ohioans from becoming a victim of the "digital divide". These Data services are as available here in rural Northwest Ohio as they are in metropolitan areas. In the fall of 2006, RTEC offered local high definition or digital channels. In the future the company plan to upgrade the company's cable TV system to a digital signal as opposed to the company's current analog system. The digital system will be able to off more channels, pay-per-view, video-on-demand, and several music-only channels.Read More
