Our Story

Regional Map Banner 

SDN Communications started with a vision for connecting South Dakota communities to deliver better technology services. Today not only are 300 South Dakota cities tied together with 21,000 miles of fiber, but we've extended our reach into eight states. In fact, now we have offices in Sioux Falls, Rapid City and Pierre, South Dakota, and Omaha Nebraska.

SDN has a great story. That story stretches into many industries: health care, financial, government, and retail, among others. But no story is more important than the story of those who use the network every single day. That's the story that matters.

  • Telemedicine - patients in the most rural clinics can get help from the region's best medical experts thanks to live telemedicine video feeds that travel SDN's network

  • Financial - banking customers can go to any of their branch banks or ATM machines to access their accounts immediately

  • Government - from kindergarten to grad school, students of all types benefit from access to high speed Internet and an unparalleled regional research network

Every single day, people live their lives on the SDN network without even thinking about it. We're a company established in service. We call it businessimplification, a phrase we coined to describe how we simplify business and technology for everyone.

SDN is growing quickly. In late 2009, SDN was awarded a $20 million stimulus grant to help connect 305 South Dakota anchor institutions like schools, government offices and hospitals. Click here to read our news release and updates on our blog
