Uniti Group Changes
Name, Expands Footprint
UNITEL Enhances Human Resources
and Safety Advisory Services
C
ommunications Sales and Leasing
(CS&L) is now Uniti Group Inc.
(Booth 113).
Based in Little Rock, Ark., the rebranded
company will trade on NASDAQ as UNIT.
The name change reflects the company’s
continued expansion through mergers and
acquisitions of fiber and tower assets. Uniti
Group’s divisions – Uniti Fiber, Uniti Towers
and Uniti Leasing – have already been
conducting business under the Uniti name.
Uniti, which also has announced an agree-
ment to acquire Hunt Communications, owns
4.2 million fiber-strand miles, 468 wireless
towers and other communications real estate
throughout the United States and Latin
America, with more growth already taking
shape. In March, Uniti Fiber announced a
dark-fiber expansion that will add nearly
20,000 strand miles in the Shreveport/
Bossier City, La. market, enabling 200+Gbps
Ethernet service.The project is expected to be
complete in the second half of 2018.

NCOMPAS is continuing its relationship
with UNITEL Insurance to offer innova-
tive human resources and safety advisory
services to member companies at a discount.
Strong HR and safety practices can protect
an employer from significant risks associated
with its employees, a company’s biggest unin-
sured risk. Instead of simply managing risk,
employers can mitigate risk with strong HR
policies, procedures and employee training.
UNITEL also has added more services focused
on risk and safety, including tools for cyber secu-
rity. In addition, it has a tool for employers to
build their own employee handbooks—a valuable
resource that can help companies stay compliant.
Last fall, UNITEL also announced a series of
upgrades, including a mobile app, Compliance
Calendar, enhanced on line training, and more
HR best practices information.
“UNITEL HR Solutions has been a valu-
able resource for us,” said Deb Ward, CEO of
TSI and chairwoman of INCOMPAS. “We have
been very impressed with the professionalism
and expertise their certified professionals have
displayed. This is an exceptional service that
can help companies stay compliant and save
time and money by having HR support avail-
able when they need it. I highly recommend you
check out UNITEL HR Solutions.”
INCOMPAS Members receive a discount
on the service, which can start as low as $30
per month. “UNITEL is extremely excited
to partner with INCOMPAS and its member
companies,” said Carl Zeutzius, director of
sales and marketing for UNITEL HR Solu-
tions. “We fully understand the HR challenges
that INCOMPAS members face each day and
believe that UNITEL HR Solutions will be a valu-
able resource to help them save money while
reducing their overall risk related to managing
people and safety within their companies.
He added, “There are many HR web portals on
the market today, but what sets UNITEL HR Solu-
tions apart is our live phone access to PHR- and
SPHR-certified HR professionals, who can help
answer difficult questions that often arise. Our part-
nership with ThinkHR allows us to deliver substan-
tial price saving to INCOMPAS members.”
