INDATEL Services, a provider of highcapacity bandwidth solutions for carriers, enterprises, federal agencies and aggregators, has expanded its nationwide network by adding Northwest Open Access Network (NoaNet) as its newest member. Founded in 2000 by Washington Public Utility Districts, NoaNet operates more than 3,800 miles of fiber spanning all 39 Washington counties. Its network supports wholesale transport services up to 400 gigabits per second, dedicated internet access, data center interconnect and cellular backhaul. NoaNet also provides connectivity to key data center markets in Quincy, Wash., along the Columbia River, and in Hillsboro, Ore., supporting growing demand for high-capacity infrastructure. “NoaNet is exactly the kind of organization we want around the INDATEL table,” said Justin Forte, CEO of INDATEL Services. “They bring a strong network, deep experience and a shared belief in the power of independent providers working together.” In addition to expanding its network, INDATEL has added personnel across business operations, IT and enterprise systems and cost analysis. These investments help streamline the quote-to-order process and improve quote accuracy. The company is also investing in better tools. For example, its partnership with Vizaport led to the development of FiberAI and Fiber Marketplace, two platforms for planning, quoting and selling network services. INDATEL and a group of member networks are now leveraging these tools, which are expediting quoting and improving inventory management. INDATEL now connects customers to more than 35 middle-mile member networks covering all 50 states and Guam. Its members are independent, locally operated providers that build and maintain fiber. p INDATEL Services is a Gold Sponsor of The 2026 INCOMPAS Show.
