Acquisition Synergy Vision Net acquired iConnect Montana in January 2022, creating a combined footprint and customer base. This presents cross-sell opportunities and bundled services by leveraging Vision Net’s enterprise portfolio with iConnect’s neutral connectivity and data center offerings in Montana.
Geographic Expansion iConnect Montana has historic leadership in Montana’s fiber network and fiber-to-home deployments in Billings, Helena, and Missoula. The acquisition can accelerate expansion into additional rural markets and strengthen FTTH propositions for residential and business customers across the state.
