A new utility services company specializing in underground fiber construction, MC Fiber launched in late September, according to a news release from Meeker Cooperative Light and Power and Vibrant Broadband in Litchfield.
MC Fiber is a collaborative effort between Meeker Cooperative Light and Power and Consolidated Telephone Company, based in Brainerd.
It is the goal of MC Fiber to provide fiber access to large areas while focusing on quality work, efficiency and safety. To do this, the company will utilize their expertise in plowing, cable pulling and blowing as well as directional boring for mainline and drop fiber projects, according to the news release.
