Mosaic Technologies Over The Years
1907
Century-Long Legacy: Mosaic Technologies’ Stewardship of Communication Advancements
With a rich history spanning over a century, Mosaic Technologies has been at the forefront of communication advancements. While our official business tenure is 60 years, our roots extend far beyond that. For more than 100 years, we have been a steadfast steward of progress in the field of communication, embracing transformative technologies from the early days of the telephone to the cutting-edge capabilities of fiber-optic cables that connect people through voice, video, and internet.
A significant milestone in our history can be traced back to February 16, 1907 when articles of incorporation were filed for Hillsdale & Western Telephone Company, with a capital stock of $2,500. This marked the beginning of our journey, and the Hillsdale exchange became a pivotal location as single telephone exchanges emerged across the country during the first half of the 20th century. We have since built upon this foundation, adapting to the ever-evolving landscape of communication technology to better serve our customers.
As we move forward, we remain committed to providing reliable and innovative communication solutions, ensuring that individuals and businesses can connect seamlessly in an increasingly interconnected world.
1957
From Local Exchanges to Diversified Services: The Evolution of Chibardun Telephone Cooperative
Derived in name from the three counties it served, Chibardun Telephone Company was established in 1957 as a non-profit organization with a mission to provide the very best telecommunications services available. The formation of Chibardun Telephone Cooperative was the result of a group of telephone patrons who recognized that the existing single exchange farmer’s telephone companies in Chippewa, Barron and Dunn Counties were no longer able to meet the growing needs of subscribers. This group of patrons worked to create an entity that could.
The newly formed cooperative’s first order of business was to purchase the options of the local, single exchange companies that served the area. Initially, there were eight small towns and seven exchanges, some of which were later consolidated. The company headquarters was established in Dallas due to the fact that the existing central office there was the largest. In 1979, the cooperative expanded from telephone offerings to cable television when it acquired several small cable television systems within its exchanges.
As the pace of changing telecommunications technologies picked up, the cooperative opened up a second office in Cameron, Wisconsin. There, diversified products and services were offered such as mobile communications, voicemail, CTC long distance, and internet access.
1996
Expansion and Innovation: The Launch of CTC Telcom and New Service Territories
The Telecommunications Act of 1996 afforded new opportunities for growth and Chibardun’s wholly owned subsidiary, CTC Telcom, was launched. CTC Telcom was among one of the first facilities-based competitive local exchange carriers in the country. CTC Telcom expanded service territories to Barron, Rice Lake and Chetek and three new offices were constructed to serve customers in those communities.
2009
Embracing Change: The Transformation of Mosaic Telecom and the Introduction of Mosaic Mobile
The company rebranded itself to Mosaic Telecom in 2009 with a new name and a new logo. This also added cellular telephone services to its offerings with Mosaic Mobile. The 3G and 4G cellular networks were retired in 2017.

Unifying Services for Success: Mosaic Technologies’ Evolution and Comprehensive Offerings
Fast forward to 2020, with a concentrated effort toward offering more technology services from a state-of-the-art network operations center, Mosaic Telecom became Mosaic Technologies. Like the many pieces that make up a mosaic, we believe the diversity of many parts are required to create a successful whole. Mosaic Technologies’ comprehensive suite of services and products work together to help customers succeed every day in business and at home.
