Telecommunication Services
The Development Authority of the North Country's telecommunications network is a middle mile network that provides transport services for telecommunications carriers. In addition, we construct and operate large private networks for customers that require high-speed connectivity between multiple locations.
The purpose of the middle-mile carrier network is to enable multiple service providers to deliver services to the North Country market. This fosters competition for telecommunications services in the area resulting in lower prices and options for the businesses and residents of the North Country.
We are currently providing transport service for 16 different telecommunications service providers who are using the OATN network to obtain direct access to their customers in order to deliver cost-effective and innovative solutions.
