Arctic Directory: GCI Industrial Telecom assists in gulf response
GCI Industrial Telecom, a division of GCI, said June 21 that it is assisting with the Gulf of Mexico incident response by providing engineering and RF licensing services as well as technical communication support. GCI currently has more than 15 employees engaged in the response in multiple locations throughout Louisiana, Mississippi, Florida and Alabama. “This is a tragic event for all of us in the oil patch. Having been through the spill here in Alaska, we are lending our knowledge to the response teams and they are implementing some of our recommendations,” said Rick Hansen, GCI Industrial Telecom director. “By partnering with local suppliers and contractors we are brining value to the response effort and we are building new relationships. I am very proud of our team’s flexibility and commitment to working safe. There is obviously still a large amount of work to do.” GCI Industrial Telecom employs more than 60 professional telecommunications engineers, project managers and technicians throughout Alaska to support the communication needs for full life cycle of industrial operations.
