Internet for the Way You Live and Work

Redzone was established in 2006 by former Navy submarine officer and telecommunications entrepreneur, Jim McKenna, after moving to Maine with his wife and three sons in 2002. McKenna started the company as a team of three and a small wireless mesh network in Maine and has grown it to a large team of talented individuals serving thousands of customers on an advanced next-generation fixed wireless network. Redzone provides fast, affordable, and reliable fixed wireless internet service to homes and small businesses and portable/unbound solutions for remote and nomadic consumers.

Redzone has pioneered a number of first deployments of fixed wireless in Maine over the course of its 20-year operating history. The company uses an advanced suite of fiber optic and wireless broadband technologies to connect homes and businesses in remote, rural, and underserved areas to the internet. Redzone’s fiber & wireless hybrid network reaches remote locations in only one-fifth of the time and at only one-fifth of the cost of fiber alone.
