Fast, affordable, no hidden fees. Learn how to upgrade today!
The Intermax tower team has been hard at work this month strengthening and expanding your network! Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at what we’ve been up to:
Bonners Ferry: The O’Callaghan tower’s standby power system was upgraded to increase the resiliency from 10 minutes backup time to 6 hours.
Sandpoint:
Key buildings at Schweitzer now have fiber between them ahead of a server room relocation project moving equipment to a more secure and efficient environment.
A faulty radio was replaced in the primary radio link, restoring full service to the Schweitzer area.
St. Maries Area:
A new upgrade supporting the growing gigabit CnWave technology was installed, allowing for smoother, faster expansions—and greater autonomy in future deployments.
A stronger non-penetrating mount was installed at our Highside tower to ensure long-term signal stability. This secures the feed antenna more effectively and helps prevent future alignment issues.
A switch on the tower at Baldy failed, disrupting service to all connected clients. Despite deep, wet snow blocking ground access, we were able to coordinate with Inland Helicopters, caught a rare weather window, and restored services despite rotten conditions!
Big thanks to the team for their persistence and quick action!
Highway 41 (Athol, Rathdrum, Spirit Lake) area: Many homes along the Highway 41 corridor and Spirit Lake East are now active with Intermax Fiber!

"Intermax recently installed an optic fiber cable to my home.
The communication throughout the entire process was very good. Matthew in the sales office kept me informed every step of the way and then Dylan T. performed the final install. He did an amazing job, actually took the time to fill holes in my exterior siding with silicon and more! Thank you Intermax team! Now we have 1000% faster Internet!!!"
