Customer Testimonial

"We use the ICN to transport all 9-1-1 calls originating within the State.  All 911 call centers in Iowa (112) are connected via the ICN.  This comes at a tremendous cost savings measure to the taxpayers of Iowa.  Starting in 2011, all wireless 911 calls began being transported via the ICN fiber. In 2019, we added wireline calls onto the network."
