In the communications landscape of Louisiana, a handful of nimble providers emerged as local leaders in next-generation internet. These pioneers demonstrated that they could establish larger fiber networks, give better service and deliver more value by focusing on customers and innovation.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”1px||2px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″ custom_padding=”18px|||||”]The original companies that would later form REV included:<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”0px||||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Although the service areas of the three companies were geographically distant, their values and commitment to customers were nearly identical.<\/p>\n In 2011, EATEL acquired Vision Communications, after recognizing the potential for an even larger network. Then later in 2019, RTC and EATEL merged, becoming one of the largest local providers in Louisiana.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”0px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”2px||4px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″] <\/p>\n Delivering high-quality connectivity requires a constant commitment to change and evolution. There\u2019s no time to cling to the past.<\/p>\n Although the merging of the original three companies was beneficial for the customer base and helped grow the business, the move also presented identity challenges. That\u2019s why, in 2022, the brand alternatingly referred to as RTC\/EATEL\/Vision was streamlined as REV, an acronym for the three original companies.<\/p>\n The decision was not made lightly. Following an exhaustive study into possible brand names and concepts, the tri-branded company finally found an identity that was front-and-center all along.<\/p>\n The name REV is more than an acronym for the three original companies: it\u2019s both a homage to the past as well as a promise of a better future.<\/p>\n Audibly, the name REV connotes speed, power, and revolution. At REV, we’re not just an internet company, we’re in the business of possibility. We strive to move the internet faster, connect more devices, and change the way our customers interact with the technology that bridges them to the outside world.<\/p>\n Visually, we curated an identity that incorporates the colors of all our historical brands, the red of Vision, the orange and blue of RTC, and the blue and white of EATEL and put it all together to create a rich deep purple.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” column_structure=”1_4,1_4,1_4,1_4″][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” type=”1_4″][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/letsrev.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/RTC-Logo.svg” _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” alt=”RTC Logo” title_text=”RTC-Logo” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” type=”1_4″][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/letsrev.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/EATEL-LOGO.png” _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” alt=”EATEL LOGO” title_text=”EATEL-LOGO” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” type=”1_4″][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/letsrev.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/EATEL-Business-logo.png” _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” title_text=”EATEL Business logo” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” type=”1_4″][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/letsrev.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Logo-Vision-RED.png” _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” title_text=”Logo-Vision-RED” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”8px|||||”][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” type=”4_4″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n By remembering where we came from, we can be more confident in the direction that we\u2019re going. Here\u2019s what some of our many long-term employees say about the new REV:<\/p>\n \u201cI know in the future there will be changes and we will just need to continue being the best at what we do. It’s all about your customer service. It’s not about quantity, it’s about quality.\u201d<\/p>\n –Frances Tempanaro, Sales leader, employed since 2012<\/p>\n \u201cWhen the fiber was launched, everybody wanted to learn it because that’s where the future was headed. So, it was a job that you wanted to become a part of. I really learned that EATEL was one big family after one of the storms. We were working around the clock and whenever we got home, I was quite surprised.\u201d<\/p>\n –Joey Babin, Fiber Optics technician, employed since 1999<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Working For Our Customers, Through All Kinds of Weather<\/p>\n Serving the Gulf Coast presents numerous challenges and opportunities, which REV is well-positioned to help overcome.<\/p>\n One such disaster was the 2016 flood, which devastated Baton Rouge and Ascension Parish, damaging more than 146,000 homes. Many in our services area suffered the ravaging waters, but EATEL\u2019s advanced network sustained<\/span><\/span> comparatively little damage and was largely intact.<\/p>\n Another was Hurricane Ida, which caused more than $18 billion in insured losses in Louisiana. REV\u2019s service area in Larose and Grand Isle were among the hardest-hit regions in the State. Further, recovery issues were exacerbated by supply chain difficulties. During the storm, REV worked extended days, suspended billing in heavily affected regions, and re-built large portions of infrastructure practically from the ground up.<\/p>\n Each new disaster brings new lessons for us. And although telecommunications infrastructure will always be vulnerable to the forces of nature, REV builds back smarter with each passing misfortune.<\/p>\n We’re continuing to revolutionize our industry while continuing to serve our customers and communities.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s a brief preview of what we have in store for the future:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_divider _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" history Our origin story A century of excellence \n
