About Us

CoastCom was formed in 2000 as a privately held Competitive Local Exchange Carrier (CLEC) based in Newport, Oregon. Founded by the owners of Action Networks, an ISP whose core business is computer network sales and support, our vision is to deliver advance fiber communications to our customers on the Oregon Coast. We deliver a broad array of integrated communications solutions – including transport for Ethernet data, Internet access and IP based solutions over our fiber network.

CoastCom is currently operating two fiber networks on the coast that were conceived by forward thinking groups that understood in order for the Oregon Coast to survive in the digital economy they needed to implement plans for an advanced fiber optic network. Their primary goals are to promote economic development and employment in our communities and provide adequate digital services to government, schools, health care organizations and business at an affordable rate.

Fiber Networks

1. CoastNet is a group of public and non profit entities led by The Economic Development Alliance of Lincoln County that has an agreement with the  Central Lincoln PUD for a dark fiber lease throughout the PUD's electrical service area. In 2005, through a series of agreements with the Alliance and their previous provider, CoastCom took over the operations of this fiber network.
   
   
2. Tillamook Lightwave is an intergovernmental agency comprised of Tillamook County, Port of Tillamook Bay, and Tillamook PUD, who has constructed a fiber network in portions of Tillamook County. In September 2005, CoastCom was awarded the contract to be the network service provider for the Tillamook Lightwave Network.
