Great Plains Communications
Acquires Pinpoint Network
G reat Plains Communications, the
largest privately owned Nebraska
telecommunications company, has
completed its acquisition of Pinpoint Network
Solutions and the Pinpoint Broadband busi-
ness units of its regional fiber company,
Pinpoint Holdings.
The Pinpoint acquisition adds 1,200 fiber
miles, including 135 additional miles in the
greater Omaha, Neb., metro area, to the
current 6,000-plus mile Great Plains Commu-
nications fiber optic network that encompasses
the state of Nebraska, extending into Colo-
rado, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, South
Dakota and Wyoming.
“These additional fiber assets will further
establish Great Plains Communications as a
strong, Nebraska-based provider for both enter-
prise and carrier customers seeking diverse
route options, access to additional commercial
buildings, and true redundancy on this newly
expanded network that is monitored 24x7x365
from our network operations center,” said Todd
Foje, CEO of Great Plains Communications.
The acquisition was announced in December
and was officially completed in February.
Pinpoint Holdings Chairman and President J.
Richard Shoemaker said, “With the formal acqui-
sition process complete, both companies look to
ensure that customers experience a seamless
migration and are able to start taking advantage
of the opportunities this newly created, powerful
network will provide. The acquisition completion
also allows Pinpoint Holdings to refocus on other
Nebraska opportunities.”
Clients have been notified of the acquisition
completion by Great Plains Communications and
meetings with these companies are underway.
Foje said, “We are excited to bring these new
clients and employees on board and look
forward to a bright future with all of them.”
