From battlefield ISP to global connectivity leader.
Founded in 2007 to connect U.S. troops in Iraq, DHI Telecom Group has grown from a small ISP in a war zone into the parent company behind four global connectivity brands — serving 500,000+ customers across 200+ countries.

They fight for their country, sacrifice for family, and love deeply. They are driven to the next place, the next adventure. And they don't let anything stand in their way.
