We look forward to bringing Kalkaska's business’s access to Gigabit Fiber, Local Phone, and our hosted PBX services.” The route for the new fiber is depicted on the map below.

How Fiber-Optics Work?

It's Fast, Really Fast - Limited by the electronics we connect to the ends. The current record is 15.5 Terabits per second over a distance of 7,000 km. That’s the equivalent of 10.3 million 1.5Mbps T1 Connections.

It's Secure - It’s far easier to tap into copper or electrical wiring than it is to tap into fiber-optic wiring in a surreptitious manner. Also, the financial investment of tapping into fiber is far greater than tapping into copper.

It Isn’t Affected by Weather - Because fiber cables carry light instead of electricity it's not disturbed by changes in temperature, rain, or virtually any other environmental condition. That being said, it is not immune to everything like a tree limb, a wayward automobile, or a backhoe.
