May 27th, 2014… Stanton Telecom moves back into the newly remodeled office.

The newly remodeled front office at Stanton Telecom will have a display area which will allow customers to have a hands on opportunity to see and work with our products, equipment and experience the benefits they can bring to their home, farm or office.

Stanton Telecom has also added on space for a community room, offices for the IT department, and additional space for future expansion. Because of the constant advancements in technology, Stanton Telecom now has the space and abilities to continue to bring the best in technology to community members and now to Northeast Nebraska.

In the fall of 2013, Stanton Telecom began a 6 month face lift and remodeling project. The project included a new brick front and sign.

The remodel involved removal of walls to expand our front office area to include a sales floor and more room for customers. Offices and a work area were also added in the back for our technicians to provide computer sales, repair and networking solutions for our customers.

A new conference/community room has been established and will be available for anyone in our community to hold meetings, attend conferences or webinars, and may also be used for consultations or computer classes for Stanton Telecom’s internet customers.

This fiber optic cable replaced the copper that was originally used for transporting service to all their customers. This state-of-the-art technology allows us to offer higher internet speeds and larger bandwidth to all customers. It also enhances their voice service and will eventually be used to carry IPTV (video over internet) to all their customers, including those in the country.
