Telecommunications services have been part of PMC's capabilities since we first began operating the Kuparuk Industrial Center (KIC) in 1984. Since that time, we have operated and maintained telecommunications systems at nearly all of our base operation sites. This has included radar systems, NAVAIDS, mobile land radio systems, and telephone systems.
PMCT's offices, located in Anchorage and Fairbanks, serve a customer base stretching from the greater Anchorage area to Palmer, Wasilla, Fairbanks, Kotzebue, and Barrow - northernmost town in the United States. Our staff is comprised of qualified technicians, engineers, and managers with proven track records operating in the Alaska environment and with other Alaska businesses. Our technicians are highly capable, evident by their numerous recognized industry certifications. PMCT provides for continuing education of our employees, including factory training on systems, in order to keep them up-to-speed in an ever-changing and challenging telecommunications environment.

Indian Health Service. Under severe time constraints to meet the opening date of their new hospital in Pine Ridge, South Dakota, the Indian Health Service (IHS) contracted ITECH, a PMCT joint venture, to provide the turn-key installation. Utilizing the local workforce, PMCT completed the project in a mere 30 days, acquiring all components and systems and installing all cabling, a Rolm Model 50 switch with more than 450 ports, and a paging system.
Arctic Slope Regional Corporation (ASRC). The high cost of telephone calls over the public network prompted ASRC to seek a less expensive communications service. PMCT analyzed the need and engineered a private switching network, lowering ASRC's costs by installing a Harris telephone switch, Shared Resource Exchange telephone network, four satellite earth stations, and voice and data lines. The new system spans 800 miles and links 13 ASRC subsidiaries located in Barrow, Prudhoe, Fairbanks, and Anchorage, Alaska. The project was finished ahead of schedule and under budget due to skilled engineering and excellent customer coordination. PMCT currently maintains this network for ASRC.
Golden Valley Electric Association (GVEA). PMCT installed and maintains a SmartNet II 800 MHz radio system, providing wireless coverage for GVEA operations throughout the Fairbanks area in Alaska's Interior. We enlisted vendor services to design the most efficient system available for the customer's needs. PMCT was very responsive to the customer's initial requirements, as well as customer-requested modifications once the project was underway.
Municipal Public Safety Office, North Slope Borough. PMCT installed and maintained a SmartNet trunk radio system, working effectively against a short timeline in Arctic conditions to meet strict Government standards.
Maniilaq Association. PMCT, as part of the joint venture Inupiat Technologies, installed voice and data cabling for a ROLM telephone switch at the Maniilaq Hospital in Kotzebue, Alaska.

PMCT also installed a radio base station and mobile radio system for the college to provide ubiquitous communications throughout the campus.
North Slope Borough, Barrow, Alaska. In 1986, PMCT equipped the North Slope Borough with the first Motorola SmartNet Trunked Radio system in Alaska. It was upgraded in 1992, and presently serves various borough divisions. This $2 million system is the lifeline of the community.
North Slope Borough School District. PMCT installed and maintains a complete telephone system with voice and data cabling, including voice mail and paging.
Valley Hospital Association. In a joint venture, PMCT installed a voice and data cable system for two hospitals of the Valley Hospital Association - the Valley Hospital in Palmer, Alaska, and the West Valley Medical Center in Wasilla. The hospitals required a high-speed data cabling system meeting EIA/TIA 568 Category 5 standards. The installation consisted of six hubs connecting 250 high-speed telephone and data outlets via fiber optic cable. PMCT performed installation, testing, and documentation, equipping the customer with a quality product capable of providing video teleconferencing, and high-speed computer data and imaging.
Office of Environmental Health and Engineering (OEH&E). When OEH&E moved to a new location, PMCT installed a complete telephone and voice mail system with SMART data and voice cabling system. PMCT also maintains this Shared Resource Exchange telephone switch and the cabling system.

Alaska Court System. In July 1995, PMCT was awarded the contract to install a telecommunications system for the Alaska Court System's Anchorage courthouse expansion. This involves providing a Category 5 horizontal distribution wiring system and Category 3 riser wiring distribution system in the new building, replacing the distribution system in the existing court building with new cabling, and connecting the two buildings with interbuilding backbone cabling. Alaska Native Medical Center. In August 1995, PMCT was awarded the contract to install an EIA/TIA 568A SMART cabling and fiber optics system in the Alaska Area Native Health Service's new 380,000-square-foot health care facility.
