DCN

Every year our leadership team hits the road to have face-to-face visits with each Owner company. We kicked off 2026 with @Dakota_Central, @gondtc, RTC Networks & @SRTComm. Even as a technology company, nothing beats having conversations like this in person.

It's always fun when Tanya Taplin brings her @umary Cyber & IT Essentials class to visit DCN! Tim & Jody talked about everything from party lines to network security & gave tours of the data center. Who knows, maybe there was a future DCN employee in the crowd!

🔒At DCN, we take data privacy very seriously and hope you do too! In honor of #NationalDataPrivacyDay, today would be a good day to make sure your computer and phone have the latest updates or change your passwords if you haven't done that lately.

Troy was part of the @nodakchamber Infrastructure Week panel on pipelines and data centers. Infrastructure affects every business in many ways. Even if you missed today, you can get in on the rest of the week. (Want to talk data centers? Give us a call, we can catch you up!)

Thurs some members of our Fargo team attended the @FMWFChamber #StateoftheCities. It's exciting to see the collaboration between the area mayors as they look to the future. As Moorhead Mayor Carlson quoted the late MN Sen. Paul Wellstone, "We all do better when we all do better."

We’re building more than networks – we’re building the future! DCN is proud to provide the state's most robust fiber network, keeping North Dakota connected and competitive in today's digital economy.

A new year is almost here, and we're ready to keep North Dakota moving forward! We're aiming high with bold ideas and smart strategies, and our team is ready to hit the mark. Thanks to each of you for being part of the journey.
