Our History

Strata Networks, owned by UBTA-UBET Communications Inc., was founded in 1948 when a group of residents living in the remote areas of the Uintah Basin came together to bring phone service to their homes. The existing telephone company refused to serve these regions at the time due to low population density, challenging terrain, and high infrastructure costs. Undeterred by these challenges, the residents formed a Board, establishing a cooperative to provide essential services unavailable to rural customers.

Headquartered in Roosevelt, Utah, Strata Networks has experienced significant growth and employs over 350 people. The company offers a wide range of technologically advanced services that have revitalized the local economy and revolutionized industries for residents of the Uintah Basin. Strata continues to expand its reach and provides cutting-edge services such as nationwide wireless coverage, the fastest broadband internet in the area, advanced TV options, and its flagship home telephone service.

Additionally, Strata Networks is at the forefront of deploying fiber networks for multiple municipalities across Utah. Recognizing the growing demand for high-speed connectivity, the company is actively working to establish robust fiber infrastructure, providing reliable and lightning-fast internet access to both urban and rural communities. This forward-thinking approach positions Strata Networks as a pioneer in bridging the digital divide and enabling Utah residents to thrive in the digital age.
