Cellcom began providing service from its office in Green Bay in 1987, when its parent company, Nsight, entered the wireless industry.
[1] Cellcom's parent company, Nsight, was founded on March 10, 1910, when a group of Pulaski business people met at the local drug store to discuss providing telephone service to their growing community.
[3] The first alternative energy cell site in the upper Midwest, built in Ackley, Wis. and activated on April 22, 2008, delivers wireless service to an area that previously had many dead zones.
[4] Equipment for the green cell site underwent rigorous testing prior to installation and features multiple backups to ensure continuity of service.
In 2010, Cellcom converted the Ackley site to a grid-tie location, and it now feeds the extra energy produced from the solar panels and wind turbine back to the power company and, in turn, became even more efficient.
Femto technology offers a low cost and highly effective solution to dead zones, particularly in small areas such as a home.
The company has had two departures from Packer figures as spokesmen; Eli Mattson, a third runner-up in season three of NBC's America's Got Talent, promoted the brand from 2009 until 2010.
