Fiber optic ring fits into the future.

In partnership with the Independent School District 181, Consolidated Telecommunications Company (a regional telecom co-op) has installed a fiber optic ring in the Brainerd Lakes Area. With simple end-point electronics upgrades, this ring transmits almost any amount of data, guaranteeing the necessary bandwidth for area businesses without slow and costly installation. The ring serves most of the Brainerd-Baxter area and features spurs running to Nisswa and the Brainerd Lakes Regional Airport. Additional expansion is planned soon.
