Listening to Clearfield Customers
“Due to rapid build-out of some of our territories and aggressive marketing to our client communities, SureWest’s fiber connectivity requirements change constantly. The Cross Connect solution was a perfect option for us because we can change the feeder/distribution ration virtually on the fly. This gives us the flexibility to rapidly turn-up new customers without sinking money into excess capital equipment.”
- Scott Barber, Vice President of Network Operations
SureWest Communications, Northern California
“Because we selected an active Ethernet technology, we needed a fiber distribution system that was highly concentrated, simple and durable. Additionally, we were somewhat constrained in a few of the central offices, so we needed a vendor that could offer a product platform configured to our exact environment. APACN (now Clearfield) stepped up to the plate.”
- Ben Foster, Director of Operations
Twin Valley Telephone, Kansas
Clearfield (formerly APACN) was chosen based upon its ability to tailor a reliable solution to fit North Dakota Telephone’s (NDTC’s) application. “They were the only company that could supply this arrangement and deliver the product on a timely basis.”
- Tim Twete, Project Manager
North Dakota Telephone
“The APACN (now Clearfield) design team was like an extension of my own engineering group. Not only was the solution the densest deployment of fiber management in the market, but when I placed the order, I felt like they knew my network as good as my own team.”
- Lonny Kelly, Plant Manager
Foothills Rural Telephone, Kentucky
“The bottom line is we chose APACN (now Clearfield) because of good results we know they can deliver. The fact that they’re knowledgeable, our technicians like working with them, and they provide prompt delivery and competitive pricing is a bonus.” Additionally, “Clearfield offers an end-to-end solution. And, in the end, we appreciate that it’s all contained in a neat, orderly environment.”
