  • CAMPBELL, Calif., February 2, 2011 – Exalt Communications today announced that Central Electric Power Cooperative (CEPC) of Jefferson City, Missouri has deployed Exalt microwave backhaul systems to carry mission-critical TDM and Ethernet traffic among its power facilities and eight member cooperatives.

  • CAMPBELL, Calif., April 13, 2010 – Exalt Communications, the company that is reinventing microwave backhaul, today announced that the city of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, has deployed Exalt microwave backhaul systems to support reliable, high-speed wireless connectivity among 20 public buildings.

A mix of Exalt licensed and license-exempt microwave links is helping Corn Belt Power cut operational costs and help its members more efficiently manage peak consumption.

The Houston County Sheriff’s Office headed up the project, and the selection of Exalt saved significant costs for the county.

    Silver Tower
    South Dakota Power Cooperative

  • On the rare occasion of an outage, the technicians from Calhoun Communications, Inc. responded well within the time-frame contracted and were able to restore service immediately. I also believe that contracting with Calhoun to conduct a post-installation system tune-up has contributed to our wireless network stability.

    Based on our experience, I would highly recommend Calhoun Communications, Inc. for any type of wireless project regardless of size and complexity. read more
