A LETTER FROM THE GENERAL MANAGER

Prioritizing Cybersecurity And Shaping The Future Of Connectivity

As we close the books on 2024, I am proud to say it has been a milestone year for Red River Communications — the most successful one in our 73-year history. Thanks to our customers’ trust and our team’s dedication, we have expanded our network with five large fiber construction build projects, upgraded our services, and embraced new technologies that enhance the way homes and businesses stay connected.

However, with growth comes responsibility, and one of the most critical areas we are focusing on moving forward is cybersecurity.

In today’s digital world, cybersecurity is more important than ever. Whether you’re managing a household or running a business, the risk of cyberattacks is continually changing. This year, we have witnessed a significant increase in security breaches impacting both everyday internet users and various businesses.

Rest assured, protecting your personal data, financial information, and business operations is no longer just a luxury—it’s a necessity. That’s why we are committed to not only providing fast and reliable broadband but also equipping our customers with the tools and knowledge to safeguard their online presence. Your security is our top priority. Check out the article on page four for more information.

As we look ahead to 2025 and beyond, our vision for the future of connectivity is one where speed, security, and innovation go hand in hand. We’re already exploring the next wave of advancements while protecting your privacy and data. Our team is working tirelessly to stay ahead of the curve so you can feel confident that your connection to the digital world is fast and secure.

Thank you for your continued support as we chart a course into this exciting future. Have a happy and safe holiday season,
