Two interesting vendor wins out in the upper Midwest to catch up with:
Ribbon Communications has been busy out in rural Iowa. Comm1, which operates a regional internet and voice network across a dozen or so communities in the north central part of the state, is deploying Ribbon’s Neptune technology and supporting software to modernize its network. The upgrade expands their capacity and enhances automation as they look to support growing bandwidth demand.
Clearfield has also had a bunch to do a bit further north. They have been collaborating with East Central Energy, an electric cooperative that is building out fiber in rural Minnesota and northwestern Wesconsin. ECE has BEAD-funded projects underway, and is using a range of Clearfield’s portfolio to roll out last mile access across some 3,750 endpoints. ECE has connected some 8,400 since 2023, with a goal of 25K across its service territory.
