The Minim community is made up of some amazing service providers, many of whom are known as the backbone of the communities in which they serve. KPU Telecommunications, a municipality-owned cable service provider based in Ketchikan, Alaska, is no different.

“We were being tasked to troubleshoot devices all across the board— doorbells, security cams, Alexa, Siri, smart TVs,” said Dan White, KPU Telecommunications Network and Engineering Operations Manager. “We wanted to provide something where we could get recurring revenue for our efforts and increased visibility.”
