HOMEGROWN HISTORY

A group of farmers from Roberts County, South Dakota took communications into their own hands, when no other company would, in providing for themselves, Roberts County Telephone Cooperative was established in 1956. Not knowing how important technology would be today, this insightfulness laid the groundwork to what RC Technologies is today. RC Technologies provides state-of-the-art broadband technology, ranging from Fixed Wireless to Fiber-To-The-Home, and in between, positively impact the quality of life people and economies in rural South Dakota towns and their surrounding communities.
