Sheridan, WY, December 2, 2009: Advanced Communications Technology (ACT) recently announced a partnership with unicomconnect™ to offer a communication interoperability system throughout Wyoming and Southeast Montana.
ACT, a subsidiary of Range Telephone Cooperative, boasts the largest fiber network in Wyoming, taking The State to the world with connections to the Montana state-wide network (Vision Net), interstate fiber networks in Casper, WY and the South Dakota Network. In addition to carrier class services offered on the fiber, ACT offers voice and data services in the Sheridan area, with expansion plans for Gillette and the surrounding areas. And through the recently announced partnership with unicomconnect, ACT now offers a solution ideally suited for the emergency response sector of our communities and state, as well as mining, oil and gas industries in the area.
Wyoming based unicomconnect has developed this revolutionary IP-based service to allow for seamless communications between voice, data, video, text and radio devices. This simple and secure solution helps businesses and government agencies address the complexities of interoperable communications by connecting any radio, regardless of make, model, manufacturer or frequency, to any Public Switch Telephone Network (PSTN) or Cellular network device – all without any upgrade or additional equipment. It also provides preparedness plans uniquely adapted for clients’ everyday and emergency usage service.
Through this relationship, the Range companies hope to provide a solution to some of the communication challenges faced by many companies in Wyoming and Montana. Whether it’s the Oil and Gas Industry, Mining, emergency responders, or supporting agencies, these groups often face the daunting challenge and complexities of interoperable communications.
Rob Stephens, CEO of Range Telephone said, “Immediate communications is important in preventing and responding to emergency situations, especially in the remote, rural areas that we serve. It is our hope that a technology such as this will allow first responders, supporting agencies and others to cost effectively address their interoperability challenges, allowing for safer communities and work environments.”
“We view ACT and the Range family as ideal partners for delivering our service in the private and public sector markets. Their state-wide fiber network provides the level of reliability and redundancy that goes hand in hand with a communication system such as ours. Cross department services and first responder agencies will naturally look for a proven service provider like Advanced Communications Technology,” added Michael Beaton, CEO of unicomconnect.
