Standing Rock Telecom Selects NewCore Wireless for Network Expansion

NewCore Wireless is the leading full-service hosted wireless switching provider in St. Cloud, Minnesota, and has recently been selected by Standing Rock Telecom to provide turnkey services for their 3G and 4G/LTE network expansion, which will serve the tribal area. Standing Rock Telecom, a division of Rock Wireless, is the first tribally-owned telecommunications company in the nation. Before Rock Wireless began offering service in April 2010, wireless coverage across the reservation was very poor, leaving more than half of the residents without access to wireless service. Rock Wireless’ successful build-out of numerous cell towers with these new wireless networks will blanket the area with new and improved coverage. An FCC Mobility Fund Auction 901 award winner, Rock Wireless worked with NewCore Wireless to design and deploy an LTE network that is currently serving over 75% of the previously unserved roads within this area. In addition to the LTE network, a new 3G network is being deployed, serving most of the remaining road miles in their service area, enhancing the customer experience in these rural areas.
