EMPIRE TELEPHONE history
EMPIRE TELEPHONE company history timeline
The company was later sold to Frank and Ruby Wheelock who ran the company until 1943 when it was acquired by Harold and Francis Putnam.
In 1946, the company was purchased by Herman and Ann Wagner.
In addition to the acquisitions in New York State, in 1952 Herman Wagner crossed the border into Pennsylvania and purchased what is known today as North Penn Telephone Company.
In 1960, the company name was changed to its present one: Empire Telephone Corporation.
Direct distance dialing service was offered by Empire in 1968, and the following year construction started on mobile telephone system.
Given advancements in communication technology and the company’s ambitious growth, Empire entered the Digital era in 1984 when the first digital switch was put into service.
In 1994, Empire Telephone Corporation was the first independent telephone company in the state to interface with NYNEX via an OC-03 SONET (Synchronous Optical Network). SONET’s fiber interface is protected by a ring topology — eliminates the possibility of being isolated from the network.
