A Decade of Excellence in Execution

Founded in 2015, eX² Technology began with a clear mission: to become a single source solution that connects communities, improves public safety and expands broadband availability for both urban and rural America while exceeding its customers’ expectations. Over the past decade, we’ve grown from a small startup into a national leader, designing, building, maintaining and commercializing long haul, middle mile and fiber to the home (FTTH) networks that power economic growth, digital connectivity and innovation across the U.S.  

Our journey has been shaped by the trust of our loyal customers, the dedication of our steadfast employees, and the strength and innovation of our partners. Together, we’ve connected people, businesses and entire regions, and we’re just getting started.  

Help us celebrate by exploring highlights from our first 10 years below, from milestone projects to stories from the people who make it all possible!
