What a great week celebrating North Dakota while supporting a great cause!

BAND was proud to be a sponsor of this year's North Dakota Governor's Cup, held in Medora and South Heart. Executive Director Carissa Swenson was joined by Seth and Troy from Dakota Carrier Network (DCN), Sarah from Consolidated Telcom, and Brooks from RTC Networks for several days of networking, friendly competition, and unforgettable North Dakota experiences.

In addition to connecting with business and political leaders from across the state and golfing at two premier courses, the group had the opportunity to tour the newly opened Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library—a remarkable new destination that celebrates one of our nation's most influential presidents and North Dakota's rich heritage.

Most importantly, the event raised more than $200,000 for the Career Builders program, helping invest in the next generation of North Dakota's workforce.

Thank you to the organizers, sponsors, volunteers, and participants for making this year's Governor's Cup another outstanding success!

We are so excited to share the news that BAND member company, Dakota Carrier Network (DCN), has announced a major project that will help ensure North Dakota remains competitive in large-scale connectivity. This investment has been made possible through the support and capital investment of DCN’s owner companies, all of whom are also BAND members.

Our members have a long history of working together for the greater good of North Dakota, and projects like this are another example of that commitment. Investments in critical infrastructure not only strengthen our state’s position in the global data marketplace, but also create opportunities for continued economic growth across North Dakota.

We’re proud to be part of a major investment in the future of connectivity across the heartland.

DCN, alongside Range and WIN Technology, is launching the 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗙𝗶𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁—a new 2,000-mile long-haul fiber route spanning seven states from Denver to Chicago. This initiative is designed to expand network capacity, strengthen resiliency, and support the growing demands of AI, hyperscale computing, and next-generation digital infrastructure.

This is the kind of collaboration that creates lasting impact: combining regional strengths to deliver scalable, reliable infrastructure for businesses, institutions, and emerging technologies across the region.

Construction is expected to begin this summer, with deployment taking place over the next one to two years.
