Premier Communications: Keeping Iowa's iconic RAGBRAI ride connected with community-wide Wi-Fi

Premier Communications and Calix came together to keep Iowa's iconic RAGBRAI ride connected—delivering reliable, community-wide Wi-Fi to more than 20,000 riders across hundreds of miles.

By combining Premier's deep local roots with Calix SmartTown® technology, the partnership ensured safety, commerce, and shared moments remained uninterrupted even when cellular networks were overwhelmed. The result is a compelling example of how connectivity strengthens communities, fuels local economies, and turns a legendary event into a truly connected experience.
