Why Go It Alone? There’s Power in Partnerships：TWN Communications & Mohave Electric Cooperative
◆Recognizing the growing need for increased bandwidth while fielding numerous requests for fiber deployment from co-ops, TWN deployed its first fiber network in Northern Indiana in 2019. Just before the pandemic, TWN approached Mohave Electric Cooperative (MEC) about bringing fiber to its members.
◆MEC operates in the Northwest corner of Arizona, specifically in Mohave County, and is one of TWN’s largest co-op partners. TWN first deployed a fixed-wireless network to the area alongside MEC more than a decade ago. Currently operated by TWN, the network now delivers broadband service to many of MEC’s 40,000 members across this sprawling county. In 2019, MEC wanted to take advantage of smart solutions (i.e., remote meter reading), and its customers needed more bandwidth – pushing the co-op to explore fiber network solutions. The increased use of various applications and increased bandwidth requirements also drove TWN to consider the transition to fiber.
●The Solution
◆While fiber-only networks are a new venture for TWN, the company has decades of experience designing, building, and operating broadband networks. If an electric cooperative needs or wants to offer broadband to its customers, TWN can help. It has the infrastructure and experience to deliver broadband to cooperatives and their members – allowing the cooperative to focus on its core business of providing electricity. In addition, TWN has operational departments and resources in place to handle billing, marketing, and customer care. This arrangement reduces risks to electric co-ops while expanding the scale and scope of their offerings.
