The
main business office for F&B Communications is located in
Wheatland, Iowa, on Main Street. |
| |
|
 |
The
present business office was expanded with a remodeling project
in 1995. An addition to the south allowed for more office space
and a board meeting room. Previous space was converted into
offices and work spaces for the plant department. |

These
four large satellite dishes receive programming which is then
distributed over the land-based cable television systems serving
Bennett, Calamus, Delmar, Lowden and Wheatland. |

A
Nortel DMS-10 switch was installed in the Wheatland office in
1996. This switch connects all incoming and outgoing calls in
the exchanges F&B serves offering advanced calling features
and SS7 signaling. |

This
area along the Wapsipinicon River east of Toronto, Iowa, was
hard hit by a flood in the spring of 1999. Rushing waters washed
away roads and bridges, also exposing telephone and fiber optic
cables (the arrows points them out). |

|
 |
The
same location, but after the water receded, telephone and fiber
optic cable was now exposed to the surface following the May
1999 flood. When F&B installed the cable it was five feet
deep, now it lies on top of the ground. |
