IT&E is one of the most innovative and successful voice and data communications carriers in the region. In the last decade, IT&E was reportedly the 4th largest U.S. carrier for international long distance calling. And today, it continues to provide the best quality of service while maintaining the highest standards and the latest in technology.

From an upstart of a quasi-PABX design with only 72 ports in 1983, IT&E's directors, with undoubtedly mixed talents, were determined to meet the formidable challenges that lay ahead. Their marketing geniuses evolved the company into becoming a major player and the most dominant communications company in Guam. IT&E's network grew to world class switching systems from notable manufacturers such as AT&T Bell Labs, Nortel Networks, and Lucent Technologies.

Today, IT&E's switching platforms boast a Lucent 5ESS International Gateway, a Lucent 5ESS Domestic System, and a Lucent 5ESS Wireless Switching system. And, with the installed Signaling Transfer Point (STP) with digital SS7 signaling— the only one in this region—IT&E was able to bring the sophisticated technology of wireless roaming to our island. Combined with ownership in the undersea fiber optics cables spanning the Pacific and Asia, and expanding into the fast-paced Internet and Wireless Digital PCS operations, IT&E is unquestionably the only carrier in this region with a communications infrastructure that compares the likes of giants like AT&T, MCI and Sprint. And with its investment into enhanced wireless facilities with IP switching, IT&E's future will continue to translate into more success while keeping in pace with the newest technology of our island.
