Partnership Overview
Who Dobson Fiber is built for
Homes and businesses in Oklahoma, Texas, and Arkansas — especially smaller cities and rural communities — needing reliable symmetric fiber internet, voice, and transport from a local provider.
Dobson Fiber (Dobson Technologies) is a regional, 100%-fiber network operator headquartered in Oklahoma City, OK, with roots in a family telephone business founded in 1936. It owns and operates the largest privately owned fiber network in Oklahoma — 6,500+ route miles across Oklahoma, Texas, and Arkansas — delivering symmetric residential fiber (up to 10 Gbps), business dedicated internet (up to 100 Gbps), Ethernet transport, dark fiber/middle-mile, hosted business voice, and eero-managed Wi-Fi. Dobson serves ~45 Oklahoma communities plus five in Arkansas (and Texas), targeting underserved 'hometown' and rural markets with contract-free, unlimited-data plans and local Oklahoma-based support. Recent upgrades include Ciena 6500 Reconfigurable Line System deployments to scale backbone capacity, and the company is expanding aggressively via multi-million-dollar builds. It is led by CEO Francisco Maella, with Chief Strategy Officer Jim Horsburgh and CFO Ryan Leeolou.
