PROFILE |

With the telecommunications battle heating up, Eschelon Telecom is deploying equipment for an assault on incumbent carriers. The company (formerly Advanced Telecommunications, Inc.) started as a supplier of business telephone systems but is expanding its role as service provider to small and midsized businesses. It provides local and long-distance telephone service, Internet access, leased lines, and other data services. After originally using leased facilities, the company has been installing its own switches and has operations primarily in the US Midwest and Northwest. CEO Cliff Williams founded the company in 1996. Investors include Stolberg Partners, Bain Capital, Global Crossing, and Nortel Networks.
