Rushville — Omnicity has taken another step forward in “bringing broadband to the heartland” by partnering with Craigville telephone company Craigville Telco. This partnership will bring additional fiber optic connection to Omnicity’s carrier-grade wireless network.

Omnicity, the Midwest’s largest WISP, has developed a business model that partners with rural telephone companies across rural America. Omnicity has developed a partnership program with Rural Electric Membership Cooperatives (REMCs) to deliver broadband services to their customers. The partnership with Craigville Telco allows Omnicity to increase network coverage in a region that covers their existing partnership with United REMC in Huntington, Wells, Adams and Allen Counties in northeastern Indiana.

“We welcome Omnicity into our coverage area to bring broadband services over a wireless network where our focus has been on building fiber optic and traditional DSL and telephone services,” Lee VanGunten, Craigville Telco GM, commented.

Omnicity will connect into the Craigville fiber optic network to provide a cost-effective method to deliver broadband services, over a WiMax wireless network, into unserved and underserved areas of rural Indiana.

“We have been partnering with United REMC providing services to their customers for a couple of years. We see this as an excellent opportunity for Omnicity to increase network coverage, speeds and services to customers throughout the region. The partnership with Craigville establishes our method of working with rural telephone companies while servicing the customers of our REMC partners. There are many folks desperately looking for service today and with our model, everybody wins,” Greg Jarman, COO of Omnicity, said.
