PRINCETON, N.J. – RCN, Grande, Wave today announced the acquisition of EnTouch Systems, Inc. (EnTouch), adding its robust residential and business services in Houston, TX to the organization's portfolio. The transaction is expected to close later this year and is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. Upon closing, this acquisition will add approximately 22,000 customers to its operations in Texas.

EnTouch provides high-speed internet, video, voice and home security services to the fast-growing greater Houston, TX area and is a natural fit and extension of the combined company's existing Grande Communications footprint in Texas, which includes Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, Corpus Christi, Waco and Midland/Odessa.

Entering Houston will solidify the companies' presence in 8 of the top 10 designated market areas in the U.S.
