Our Story

Built in Alexander Valley. Raised by the Community. Growing with You.

AVISP (AV Wireless Inc.) began in 2002 as a small local partnership between Steve Young, Tammi Young, and Fred Young. What started as a practical solution for connecting rural farms and family properties quickly became a trusted regional network.

Between 2002 and 2010, AVISP expanded from Alexander Valley into Dry Creek Valley, Chalk Hill, Geyserville, and Cloverdale — always with the same mission:

Bring reliable, affordable internet to the rural communities that need it.

In 2010, Steve and Tammi transitioned the company into AV Wireless Inc., continuing to modernize the network, expand tower locations, and improve speeds for the families and businesses we serve.

Resilience Through Challenges

Rebuilding After the 2019 Kincade Fire

AVISP’s transmission towers and equipment were destroyed. But thanks to the strength of our team, local support, and insurance recovery, we rebuilt as quickly as possible, restoring internet to customers even before evacuation orders were lifted.

This event reinforced what we’ve always known:

We're part of this community -- and we stand with it through everything.
