4 October 2005 - The first city-wide commercial deployment of broadband-over-powerline (BPL) technology anywhere in the United States is now complete in Manassas, Virginia, according to Communication Technologies, Inc. (COMTek), the Chantilly-based company that owns and operates the BPL network.
COMTek and City of Manassas officials will hold a joint news event at 10:30 a.m. ET on October 5, 2005 to announce the achievement of the major national technology milestone in broadband access.
Both the White House and Federal Communications Commission (FCC) have highlighted BPL technology as an important way to get broadband access to underserved portions of the nation.
On December 1, 2004, COMTek announced that it had been named by Inc. magazine as one of the 500 fastest-growing privately held companies in the United States. The COMTek success story made the company a natural for inclusion on the 3Inc. 5002 hottest company list. COMTek's total growth, as measured by average annual sales revenues, was up 303 per cent from 1999 to 2003 and its employee ranks more than doubled during calendar year 2002 and now stand at over 900.
