Fort Worth-based telecommunications and managed services provider Lantana Communications has been acquired by In-Telecom Consulting, a telecommunications and managed services company based in Slidell, Louisiana.
In-Telecom said the strategic acquisition enhances its capabilities by boosting its presence in the Texas market and adding “a proven carrier services team” to grow In-Telecom’s current offerings. In-Telecom said it believes Lantana’s 34 years of experience will be important to In-Telecom’s continued growth efforts.
Terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.
“We’re excited to welcome Lantana to the In-Telecom team. Together, we’ll be able to greatly expand our offerings and become an industry leader across the Gulf South,” In-Telecom CEO Shawn Torres said in a statement. “We’re overjoyed to introduce a mature managed services offering to Lantana’s existing clients, as well as video surveillance and access control services they haven’t had access to previously.”
Lantana Communications is a telecom provider whose services also include call center solutions, and carrier services in the south-central U.S. Since its founding in 1990, Lantana said it has focused on creating lasting relationships in the community, helping customers see telecom and I.T. as a service, not a problem.
In-Telecom said the acquisition positions it to change the region’s competitive landscape.
“The acquisition was a great fit from a core values perspective,” In-Telecom COO Jimmy Burns said. “When our clients win, our company wins, and our communities win. The vision and values of Lantana align perfectly with ours, and we’re excited for what the future holds.”
Founded in 2009 as a telecommunications consulting firm, In-Telecom has seen rapid growth across the U.S. As a result of the acquisition, In-Telecom’s clients will have the support of more than 130 technology professionals, offering 24/7 service and support to more than 1,000 clients across the U.S.
