Atlantic has done exemplary work as we introduced the IsoTruss Tower, a forward-looking solution for the telecom industry that is lightweight, durable, cost-effective, corrosion-resistant, sustainable, and eco-friendly. Atlantic provided the fuel for successful commercialization and business planning in the form of secondary market research and an intensive B2B survey of US cell tower operators. These resources gave us valuable insight and enabled us to pivot our marketing strategy to more effectively address what matters to customers. The Atlantic team has a deep understanding of the innovation and commercialization process and they have earned our highest recommendation. - Marianne Clayton, IsoTruss, Springville, UT
