Emery Telcom operates as a telecommunications provider delivering phone, DSL, cable television, and broadband internet services throughout eastern and southeastern regions of Utah. Established in 1950 as a cooperative based in Orangeville, Utah, the company became part of a network of independent Utah telephone providers known as Western FiberNet.
History
Emery Telcom was founded in 1950 in Orangeville, Utah, and experienced notable growth through targeted acquisitions. On December 11, 2008, the company entered into an asset purchase agreement to acquire cable systems from Precis Communications located in various Utah areas such as Moab, Price, Helper, among others. The transaction was finalized on February 2, 2009, positioning Emery Telcom briefly as the exclusive non-cellular communications provider within Carbon and Emery counties.
This exclusivity concluded with the arrival of smaller Wireless Internet Service Providers (WISPs), including BEH Communications and River Canyon Wireless operating in Carbon and Grand counties, introducing competition to these markets.
In 2009, Emery Telcom broadened its business scope by acquiring Top Line Computers, a chain of three custom computer sales and repair outlets serving eastern Utah. After rebranding to Emery Telcom Computers, the company integrated these locations with its video services office in Grand County to establish a presence in Moab. By 2012, however, the Moab office reduced its computer repair and retail operations.
On June 3, 2012, Emery Telcom expanded its footprint by launching landline phone services in Moab, directly competing with Frontier Communications.
