Syringa Networks

What Syringa Networks does

Syringa Networks is a privately held regional fiber-optic network operator and technology solutions provider headquartered in Boise, Idaho, with a secondary operations center in West Valley City, Utah. Founded in 2002 by a coalition of twelve rural telecom companies, the company built a self-healing fiber network spanning Idaho and Utah, delivering Dedicated Internet Access (DIA), Ethernet Virtual Private Line, Ethernet LAN, Dark Fiber, Optical Wave Services, Hyperscaler Cloud Access, Global SD-WAN (with more than twenty global points of presence), Voice Services, and DDoS Protection at symmetrical speeds from 100 Mbps to 100 Gbps. The company serves commercial, public sector, education, healthcare, financial, retail, logistics, and wholesale customers across the Intermountain West — Idaho, Utah, Oregon, Washington, Nevada, Montana, and Wyoming — and lists J.R. Simplot, Utah State University, St. Luke's, D.L. Evans Bank, RC Willey, the Idaho Department of Corrections, Idaho State University, and Primary Health Group among named references.

The product portfolio is divided into Connectivity Services and Advanced Solutions. Connectivity revenue is driven by recurring multi-year contract fees on carrier-grade internet and Ethernet. Advanced Solutions operate as a "buyer's agent" marketplace delivering UCaaS, CCaaS, cloud infrastructure (SaaS/IaaS/PaaS/BCDRaaS), managed IT services, cybersecurity, IoT, workplace experience, and Network as a Service, with revenue composed of subscription and professional services components. The buyer-agent positioning is reinforced by a partner program that serves as a third buying motion: Technology Solutions Distributors (Telarus, Avant), aggregators (Airespring, Globalgig, CommandLink), and agent/sub-broker/master-agent relationships governed by formal Teaming Agreements with commission structures and customer-relationship protections.

Go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales with the channel partner ecosystem and wholesale carrier arrangements. Pricing is quote-based and tailored to bandwidth, redundancy, geography, and contract length, with no publicly disclosed standard price list. Operational milestones include a 2018 acquisition of Time Warner/Level 3 divested assets in Western Idaho, a 2023 strategic pivot to the Advanced Solutions marketplace, the 2024 elevation of Chip Hull from CFO to CEO, and an October 2025 migration to a NetSuite-based customer portal and billing platform.
