Strategic Acquisition Strengthens FBR's Outside Plant Construction Capabilities Across the Mid-Atlantic

FBR Solutions, LLC (“FBR”), a national telecommunications infrastructure services provider backed by FVLCRUM Funds (“FVLCRUM”), today announced the acquisition of Southeastern Cable Contractors, Inc. (“Southeastern Cable”), a veteran-led broadband construction company serving leading cable MSOs and network providers across the Mid-Atlantic. The acquisition strengthens FBR’s outside plant construction capabilities and expands its self-performing footprint across North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, and Georgia.

Founded in 2008 and headquartered in Southport, North Carolina, Southeastern Cable has built a reputation for turnkey, end-to-end broadband construction — spanning aerial and underground cable placement, drop bury, fiber and coaxial splicing, and permitting and engineering. The company has completed millions of feet of subsidy-funded construction, including BEAD- and RDOF-backed deployments, and is known for its skilled, high-performing crews, rigorous safety standards, and ability to take on work that others are not equipped to handle. Southeastern Cable will continue to operate under its established name and local leadership as part of the FBR platform.

“Southeastern Cable earned its place on this platform,” said Matthew Glass, Chief Executive Officer of FBR Solutions. “The craftsmanship, the customer relationships, and the reputation this team has built in the Mid-Atlantic are exactly what make this combination worth doing. We’re here to add fuel to what they’ve already built, not to change what makes it work.”

“We built Southeastern Cable to last,” said Anthony Fairweather, Chief Executive Officer, and Graham Kirk, Chief Operating Officer of Southeastern Cable. “Joining FBR Solutions gives our team more opportunity, more resources, and a bigger stage to perform on. The brand stays, the culture stays, and what changes is what we can now accomplish together.”

“We back operators with the vision and discipline to build enduring businesses,” said Harrison Perry, Managing Partner at FVLCRUM Funds. “Welcoming Southeastern Cable to the FBR platform is exactly what this fund was built for — long-horizon capital, committed to the operators who build it.”

“With this acquisition, FBR has the capacity, scale and capabilities required to serve as a leading infrastructure services partner for telecommunications providers and hyperscalers across the United States,” said Andre Castillo, Partner at FVLCRUM Funds and FBR board member.

The acquisition of Southeastern Cable reflects FBR’s continued investment in building a comprehensive, self-performing platform capable of supporting the accelerating pace of broadband infrastructure investment nationwide. With a growing footprint across engineering, construction, and operations, FBR Solutions remains focused on advancing connectivity and delivering superior value to customers and communities across the country.
