Barron County is served by an extensive fiber optic network. Rice Lake is the hub for fiber optic cable in all of Northwest Wisconsin. It is a double ended, redundant system that is virtually noninterruptible. Technology-driven companies are encouraged to contact us for more details (800-529-4148).

The telecommunication firms of Charter Communications, Mosaic Telcom and CenturyTel provide service throughout the county.

Compressed video and satellite downlinks are available at several locations including WITC, UW-Extension and several area high schools.
