About Norlight Telecommunications, Inc.

Norlight Telecommunications, Inc. (NTI) began as a small, integrated voice and data services company in Wisconsin in 1972 and since then has been providing dependable, state-of-the-art telecommunications solutions. As NTI grew in the Midwest, it was involved in several company mergers and acquisitions.

The 1990s brought the first major expansions caused by these mergers and acquisitions, and by 2007, NTI's robust metropolitan and rural network blanketed the Midwest.

Today, NTI offers the benefits of our carrier-class network based on Cisco-routed, DWDM/SONET technologies to agencies and organizations in the following fields:

  • Government (local, state, and federal)
  • Health Care
  • K-12 Education
  • Higher Education
  • Large Enterprise
NTI Network Operations Center (NOC)

NTI is a facilities-based company that has access to backhaul fiber covering a vast footprint. We augment this network as required through fiber-optic construction to provide our customers with the broadband capacity and related services they need. Our services receive highly reliable testimonials and are supported by 24x7x365 redundant Network Operation Centers located in two NOCs: Evansville, Indiana and Brookfield, Wisconsin. NTI will soon wield the expanding power of nearly 650 POPs.

We have presence in many major tier-1 metropolitan areas, with a noted focus on providing fiber connectivity to rural tier-2 and tier-3 markets where other national carriers have failed to build. And in those markets, we focus on a community strategy that provides upgraded, high-speed infrastructure.

Most of our existing POPs are located in LEC central offices which enable us to uniquely interconnect with your existing local access, or to custom-build fiber access all the way to your premises.

In early 2007, NTI was acquired by Q-Comm Corporation. And as a result of this acquisition, NTI's combined assets are now part of a fiber transport network that covers over 30,000 route miles of fiber in 26 states. Our efforts primarily centered in the Midwest, Southeast, now find us expanding throughout the central, eastern, and southern United States. Our combined network boasts hundreds of POPs which span more than 200 markets from Michigan to Florida, from Oklahoma to Virginia, and from Minnesota to Louisiana.
