ALLENTOWN, Pa. - Nov. 6, 2023
Ironton, a family-owned telephone company in the Lehigh Valley of Pennsylvania, announced today that it has formed
Keystone Metrofiber, a new subsidiary aimed at enabling a new generation of wireless communication technology.
Keystone Metrofiber will provide both Public and Private Wireless using the latest 4G-LTE Advanced and 5G
technology throughout the Lehigh Valley.
Ironton, known for more than 113 years throughout the Lehigh Valley, has been increasing its investments to create
new opportunities to provide next-generation telecommunications services to its customers. While Ironton will
continue to serve the customers in its certificated territory in its present form, the new company, Keystone Metrofiber,
will focus outside its territory by using the Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) spectrum in the 3.5 GHz to 3.7
GHz band. Keystone has spectrum that is licensed by the FCC, also known as Protected Access Licenses or PALs.
"We're excited about the creation of Keystone Metrofiber to help transform enterprise networks by using CBRS band
to address several critical communications needs: Fast, reliable, and secure connectivity, that is available in limited or
hard-to-reach areas," said Brad Gruno, Chief Marketing Officer of Keystone Metrofiber. In response to the creation of
this new company, Chief Technical Officer, Richard Kolsby stated, "Keystone Metrofiber will be one of the
predominant companies in the Lehigh Valley that will make investments in licensing and installing technology to
deliver Private Wireless Networking that will enable enterprise organizations to have private LTE and 5G networks."
Paul Rizzo, the Project Manager of Keystone Metrofiber added to the excitement by stating "Keystone will offer an
"express lane" of wireless connectivity to critical enterprise applications that require wider coverage, interference-free
wireless spectrum, and guaranteed service level agreements (SLAs) for network performance."
