Arc Force, Inc. · Missoula, Montana
Telecommunications, Infrastructure
and Network Services
A turn-key contractor for communications infrastructure in the Northern Rockies — survey, design, build, commissioning and support delivered by one accountable team, on the kind of remote, high-elevation sites most crews turn down.

Climbing, civil, fabrication and integration are in-house. Start with the capabilities, then the projects — both are on this page.
View CapabilitiesDelivery Model
Most infrastructure projects fail in the handoffs — the surveyor doesn't talk to the design engineer, the design engineer never sees the site, and the integrator inherits someone else's mistakes. Arc Force self-performs the whole sequence, so there is a single point of accountability from the first drive-up to the closeout package.
Site walk, structural and access assessment, path and line-of-sight verification, photo and elevation documentation.
RF and network design, mount and loading configuration, power and grounding plan, materials list and schedule.
Civil and foundation work, erection and modification, antenna and line installation, shelter, power and grounding.
Alignment, sweep and integration testing, throughput verification, cutover, and an as-built closeout package.
Preventive inspection, emergency response, monitoring, and ongoing site maintenance under contract.
Capabilities
Vertical construction, the network that rides on it, and the civil and power work that keeps both standing through a Montana winter.
New self-support, guyed and monopole structures; tower strengthening and reinforcement; antenna and line installation; mount fabrication and replacement; decommissioning and removal.
Structural and guy-tension inspection, obstruction lighting service, tower painting and coatings, and scheduled preventive maintenance programs for owners with distributed portfolios.
Access road construction and rehabilitation, compound grading and fencing, foundations and anchor blocks, shelter and cabinet placement, and site restoration.
Path and coverage design, licensed and unlicensed microwave backhaul, point-to-multipoint access networks, IP transport and routing design, integration and cutover.
Solar and hybrid power plants for sites without commercial power, battery sizing for winter load, DC plants, generators, grounding and lightning protection, and remote monitoring.
Fiber route design and construction, splicing and termination, OTDR testing and documentation, last-mile distribution, and carrier and IX interconnection.
Arc Force runs its own broadband networks — so the same team that builds a network knows what it takes to keep customers online through storm season, and can operate yours under contract.
Candidate site identification, landowner and lease negotiation, federal and state land permitting, and coordination with agencies and jurisdictions on special-use authorizations.
Off-grid power, seasonal access windows, federal land permitting, and weather that closes the road behind you. The sites other contractors price as exceptions are the ones we build on schedule.
Representative Experience
A cross-section of recent and ongoing work. Client names and detailed references are available on request as part of a qualification package.
Greenfield mountaintop repeater with no commercial power and seasonal access. Custom mast fabrication and erection, solar array and battery plant sized for winter load, backhaul link, and remote monitoring.
Connectivity delivery to a set of remote aviation facilities under a single program. Site surveys, path design, backhaul construction and commissioning across geographically separated locations on a coordinated schedule.
Re-establishing a national tower owner's site: access road repair to restore heavy-vehicle access, followed by full structural coating of the tower to specification.
Acquisition of a county-owned communications site, followed by structural assessment, upgrade, and return to revenue-generating service as a shared-use facility.
Owned and operated point-to-multipoint network serving residential and business subscribers across rural Gallatin County — sector and backhaul build-out, subscriber installation, and 24/7 network operations.
Owned fiber ISP serving a rural Washington community — outside plant construction, subscriber drops, transport and interconnection, and ongoing service delivery.
Multi-site feasibility surveys for a connectivity developer in high-elevation, limited-access terrain — structural and access assessment, path verification, and buildable scope with cost basis.
