ETI Software is seeing a surge in demand for both its traditional and new product lines. We are expanding our products to address the new demands in the telecom, muni/utility and electric co-op space, especially in the light of COVID-19.  Many of these changes are here to stay, particularly the idea that broadband connections are no longer a luxury, but a necessity.  ETI is focusing its efforts to greatly reduce the time to bring on new networks or services to unserved or underserved communities across the United States.
