In 1979, Joseph Hosmer, with a camera strapped to his shoulder and a love for exploration, had a vision to create relationships with people all over the world. This adventurous spirit, paired with his knowledge of telephony, led Joe to start MOUNTAIN, LTD. MOUNTAIN’s humble beginnings started all the way across the ocean in Western Africa, working to develop landmark telecommunications projects in remote locations. MOUNTAIN worked to innovate communication technology within the country where there were no resources. These challenges were trying, but the results were fruitful and enriched many lives. Today, MOUNTAIN works in almost every state, offering the same dedication as it did all those years ago.
A lot has changed since then, but the vision and mission remain the same: offer the best opportunities to people and deliver outstanding service to businesses in the telecom industry. With 40 years of experience under our belt, we are at the forefront of telecommunications, whether it be traditional OSP/ISP engineering, cutting-edge wireless technology, or old-fashioned pole and line work.
