The Powerful Partnership of CPI's Founders

ABOUT US

Capacity Provisioning Inc. (CPI) was created in 2001, from a partnership between Bill Roberds (owner of Excel Utility Construction Inc.), Bob Jensen (owner/partner of Angeles Communications Inc.) and computer, network and telecommunications professional Craig Johnson. Then in 2002, another partnership was formed. This venture brought government and private business together to provide high-speed fiber optic data access to the City of Port Angeles, Wash., and surrounding area.

The venture formed between the City of Port Angeles, Northland Cable (Now Wave Broadband) and Capacity Provisioning, provided an interconnecting fiber optic ring within the community and provided a high quality outer-connecting fiber optic link with the Internet global community. Thanks to this partnership our Olympic Peninsula businesses are as virtually connected as their big-city peers anywhere. Port Angeles IS "Fiber City!"
