specializes in private fiber optic networks for municipalities and
school districts. It designs and builds state-of-the-art networks
that can be expanded as needs or technology change. Fiber optic
technology has opened up a whole new world of communications
services. It is no longer necessary to rely on the legacy systems
that were, and still are, delivered by the phone and cable
companies. Through fiber optic technology many businesses
and communities are realizing that they can become independent
of incumbent carriers and their restrictive service offerings.
In breaking free from these carriers, these entities are receiving
better and more reliable services at greatly reduced costs. MCG
has been helping its customers do just that since 1995. It has
been called upon by every major provider of telecommunications
services in the country, by federal, state and local governments,
college campuses, K-12 educational institutions and the
private sector to solve their FTTx needs. For fiber to the desktop,
campus, camera, home or any other unique application, MCG’s
team can provide world-class service. It partners with a range
of technology manufacturers that assist in providing solutions
based on value and service level. Its staff is continually trained
on the most advanced systems and applications, allowing MCG
to offer the best options for any situation in the most cost-effective
manner. It is this level of service and dedication to excellence

Thermo Bond
Thermo Bond Buildings is located
in Elk Point, South Dakota, but its communications
shelters are in use in Maine, Florida, California, Washington
and almost all states in between. They can also be found in
Alaska, Japan, Korea and Tahiti. While the company is small,
it has successfully served some of America’s largest corporations.
Thermo Bond’s motto is: “We’re small enough to know
you and big enough to serve you.”
Thermo Bond shelters are shipped fully assembled, including
lights, outlets, air conditioners, heaters, generators, transfer
panels, ventilation systems, cable ladder and grounding systems.
One advantage of the shelter is flexibility – every project
is different. Thermo Bond constructs each shelter to the
customer’s specifications, including size, ceiling height, door
placement, floor covering, exterior color and electrical layout.
A full set of construction drawings is provided with every order,
showing the interior layout, exterior view, cross sections of
the wall, roof and floor, skid assembly and foundations print.
The customer reviews this set of construction drawings and
can make any changes prior to construction. The shelter is
designed, engineered and constructed to give equipment the
highest degree of protection available for the least amount of
money – and to go on doing it year after year.
These buildings have been used by long distance carriers for
fiber optic networks, cellular companies, PCS providers, cable
companies, power companies, the US Department of Energy,
US Department of Interior, major railroads, local and state governments
and many telephone companies. For more information,
