Fiber-first telecom and ISP serving rural Oregon with network design and VoIP
Hunter Communications operates as a regional CLEC and ISP built around fiber-optic infrastructure deployed across Southern Oregon since 1994. The tech stack—Cisco, Juniper, Wireshark, VoIP, SIP, plus Snowflake and Salesforce—reflects a field-operations-heavy business: construction and engineering dominate active hiring (11 of 23 roles), while pain points center on project scheduling, emergency response, and fleet cost management. The gap between operational complexity (fiber route design, network installation) and data tooling (single data hire, emerging Snowflake adoption) suggests infrastructure and analytics are bottlenecks for scaling.
Hunter Communications is a privately held telecommunications provider and ISP based in Central Point, Oregon, serving local and regional customers with fiber-optic solutions, VoIP systems, and managed network services. Founded in 1994, the company expanded from general telecommunications support into fiber-network construction and deployment, building a Metropolitan Area Network across the Medford area and extending into surrounding rural regions. The business spans four operational layers: fiber infrastructure (design, installation, extension), hosted PBX and VoIP systems (deployment and maintenance), technical support and engineering, and fleet/field operations. With 51–200 employees and steady hiring across construction, engineering, and operations, Hunter is actively scaling network deployment capacity while addressing internal challenges around project delivery, emergency response coordination, and data consistency.
Cisco and Juniper networking gear, VoIP and SIP protocols for phone systems, Wireshark for network diagnostics, plus AutoCAD for fiber route design. Data operations run on Snowflake with Salesforce for CRM.
Active work includes fiber path extension and network expansion, hosted PBX deployment and maintenance, fiber route design, and a telematics platform implementation aimed at fleet efficiency and cost reduction.
