Pioneer Broadband - Bringing Fiber Broadband to Rural Maine The Broadband Bunch

    • Business

What began nearly two decades ago as a small microwave network designed to connect branch offices of the FA Peabody insurance company in Maine, has grown into a dynamic communications company serving nearly 70,000 customers across the Northern third of the pine tree state. After depending solely on wireless and then DSL, Pioneer Broadband embarked on a shift to fiber technology in 2010 with a network that includes a cross border connection into the Canadian province of New Brunswick. Joining us today is the CEO of Pioneer, Tim McAfee, a man who immersed himself in nuclear theory, electronics, and information technology while at the US Navy Nuclear Power School.
