US Signal’s Dan Watts on integrating One Neck assets and organic growth opportunities

Oct. 15, 2024
An industry leader sounds off on how US Signal has developed a plan to gain a more significant foothold in the growing data center and cloud services market.

Dan Watts, CEO of US Signal, recently joined the Broadband Pulse podcast to discuss how the competitive business service provider enhances its cloud service reach through acquisitions and new product development.

One of US Signal's critical priorities for 2024 is integrating its earlier acquisition of One Neck, a data center provider from TDS Telecom. This acquisition enhances US Signal’s data center, cloud hosting, and solutions provider operations.

The provider is also actively enhancing its product set. It recently launched its Infrastructure-as-a-Service product, OpenCloud, an alternative response to the volatility in the cloud computing market, including provider shakeups and recent license price hikes.

What will tie all of US Signal's ambitions together is its network assets. US Signal has a 9,500-mile-lit fiber network with access to over 225 data centers and POPs, Tier 1 peering relationships, and metro rings in strategic markets. 

Listen to this podcast to learn how US Signal harnesses its capabilities to address the ever-evolving cloud services market.
