About RINA

Transforming Rural Connectivity through Unified Excellence and Technological Innovation

The Rural Independent Network Alliance, LLC (RINA) specializes in delivering LTE Core hosting and CDMA switching solutions tailored for rural wireless carriers. Conceived by the management of two prominent entities in the industry, Strata Networks (then UBET Wireless) and South Central Communications, RINA emerged as a strategic initiative to optimize switching costs while elevating service offerings for their respective customer bases.

Preceding the establishment of RINA, each company independently owned and operated its switch within distinct markets. Recognizing the advantages of consolidation, the decision was made to centralize switching operations in Roosevelt, UT. This pivotal transition towards combined switching was successfully implemented in January 2006, marking a significant milestone in the enhancement of operational efficiency and service quality for both collaborating wireless carriers.
