Our people, passion & purpose
Illuminated Telecom was originally established in 2014 as a construction company, offering contracting services for installing underground utilities infrastructure. While underground construction remains an integral aspect of our business today, we also recognized the incumbent provider's lack of investment in remote communities.
In response to the demand for reliable, broadband internet in rural areas, Illuminated Telecom pivoted in 2020. Leveraging previous expertise in constructing and managing reliable fiber optic network systems for wholesale and business clients, Illuminated Telecom swiftly developed a robust residential internet offering.
