Serving the Iron Range and northeastern Minnesota

Telecommunications/Technology

Northeastern Minnesota's telecommunications/technology infrastructure rivals any system in the world. Numerous ISPs ensure competitive prices and consistent service. Investments by the region's development agencies, local and county governments as well as private developers have helped this region accommodate telecommuters from around the world and businesses that rely on teleconferencing, cellular service and high-speed internet access through modem, DSL,  cable and T-1. High-tech companies that have made the move, Delta Dental, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Northwest Airlines and Carlson Wagonlit Travel/SATO Travel, have found that the region's high degree of connectivity, along with its great quality of life, dedicated workforce and business development assistance, have combined to form an ideal operating environment.

Tech centers in northeastern Minnesota offer high-speed Internet connections, computer labs and business support services.
