About Eagle Marketing
Eagle Marketing was founded by John Shimota in 2000 after working for Primus Marketing for 2 years. What sets Eagle Marketing apart from other manufactures representatives is the experienced management and regional coverage to manage key distribution accounts, end users, engineers and contractors. We offer extensive knowledge of the Central Office and Outside Plant Network for the Broadband, Telecommunications, Municipality and Utility markets. With the features and benefits of Eagle Marketing, this allows the manufacture’s we represent a reduction in the direct sales force needed to cover this market. And because of our existing relationships and the other lines represented in this market, it allows us to be in front of those key decision makers more often than if only one line was represented.
States covered include: Iowa, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Upper Pennisula of Michigan, Wisconsin. We are open to representing products in Hawaii. :)

Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue today announced that the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is offering up to $600 million in loans and grants to help build broadband infrastructure in rural America. Telecommunications companies, rural electric cooperatives and utilities, internet service providers and municipalities may apply for funding through USDA’s new ReConnect Program to connect rural areas that currently have insufficient broadband service. Answering the Administration’s call to action for rural prosperity, Congress appropriated funds in the fiscal year 2018 budget for this broadband pilot program. USDA Rural Development is the primary agency delivering the program, with assistance from other federal partners. More information at: USDA.gov
