In a significant move to enhance internet connectivity in Michigan, Highline has officially acquired the fiber assets and ISP business from 906 Technologies, LLC. This acquisition marks a substantial step in Highline’s mission to provide high-speed, reliable internet services across the region.
Highline Announces Strategic Acquisition
On January 7, 2025, Highline revealed the acquisition of fiber assets and the ISP division of 906 Technologies, aiming to bolster its services in Michigan. Bruce Moore, President & General Manager of Midwest markets at Highline, expressed enthusiasm about integrating 906 Technologies’ internet customers and their plant & construction employees into Highline’s family. The move is seen as perfectly aligning with Highline’s goals to enhance internet experience in the area.
Enhancing Internet Service in Michigan
Through this acquisition, Highline pledges to continue the legacy of exceptional service that 906 Technologies has established. With combined resources and talents, Highline aims to extend its outreach throughout Marquette County and the Upper Peninsula, focusing on high-speed broadband solutions. The effort is targeted at reaching underserved and unserved areas, ensuring improved connectivity across the board.
Benefits and Future Plans for Customers
Russ Tripp, President and CFO of 906 Technologies, reassured customers that Highline would maintain the high level of support and connectivity his company had been known for. Highline is now poised to expand its Fiber-to-the-Premise (FTTP) networks, further enriching customer experiences with gigabit-level internet speeds in underrepresented regions. This expansion emphasizes Highline’s commitment to both residential and commercial customers in areas lacking optimal internet service.
With over a century of experience in telecommunications, Highline’s recent acquisition of 906 Technologies’ assets is a clear indicator of its commitment to bridging connectivity gaps in Michigan. As Highline continues to innovate and expand, residents in Michigan can look forward to a future of enhanced internet accessibility and reliability, supporting a broad range of digital needs in households and businesses alike.
