about us

Locally owned internet for the Iron Range

We’re a locally owned and operated internet provider based in Chisholm, Minnesota. We live and work in the communities we serve, and we believe living in rural Minnesota shouldn’t mean giving up a good internet connection. Enjoying the outdoors and the quiet shouldn’t cost you time with family, the ability to work from home, or access to education. Our mission is to make that possible for everyone on the Iron Range, wherever you choose to live.

Our fixed wireless service works for home-based businesses, homeschoolers, streamers, and everyone in between. Netflix, Hulu, Google Play, Wi-Fi calling, work VPNs, and virtual desktops all run fine from your home connection. We also offer more dedicated connectivity and custom solutions for businesses.

Northern Wireless is operated by sisulink, a local managed IT company in Chisholm. The same team that builds and runs our network also provides network and server management, managed WiFi, security cameras, and IT security for businesses. If your business needs more than internet, visit sisulink.com.

Service Plans

Not all plans are available in all areas. Please contact us for offerings in your area. Below we have an approximate coverage map. All plans require auto-pay via bank or credit card.

What to expect when you order service

Starting your service with us is straightforward. We begin by installing a compact antenna receiver on your roof, roughly the size of a dinner plate, which links to our network access point. Next, we run a cable into your home to connect to the router we provide, ensuring you’re ready to go. Our standard installation fee of $150 includes the antenna installation, system configuration, and router setup, designed to get you online quickly and efficiently.

We’re here to meet your unique needs and will discuss any specific requirements or potential additional costs during our initial site survey. All our plans come with a basic router and antenna lease, though you’re welcome to use your own router, provided it’s compatible with our service.

Transparency is key in our pricing—what you see is what you pay. We pride ourselves on not having hidden taxes or fees, and unlike many large companies, we do not increase rates after an introductory period. This approach removes unnecessary stress and ensures you have one less thing to worry about.

We also offer custom plans if you need something different!

Approximate Coverage Map

Our coverages are approximate based on a certain radius from our tower sites. If you are near or slightly outside these areas we may still be able to get you connected. Fill out the new service form and we can do a more specific test to see if you are within coverage area. Also, this helps us identify areas for future expansion when multiple people in an area show interest.

Growing with the Iron Range

We’re exploring new areas

Don’t see your area in our coverage map? We’re looking at where to expand next, and where we build depends on where neighbors are asking for service.

Areas we’re exploring: Hibbing, Mountain Iron, Virginia, and Biwabik

Sign up to tell us where you are and that you’re interested. Interest from several households in the same area is what helps us plan a new tower site. Not on the list? Sign up anyway, we’d like to hear from you.
