About us
Founded on a mission
Bug Tussel Wireless was established in 2003 by Steve Schneider, son of a Manitowoc County dairy farmer and former Cellcom Executive. Being a country boy, Steve was distressed by the lack of attention that rural areas received from cellular providers. He developed the vision and mission to align with the desire to provide service in rural markets with as little as 2 to 5 households per square mile. This economic model was to provide internet service in rural areas and grow a network of towers to deliver a service that outperforms some metropolitan areas.
To facilitate this growth, Steve started a sister company, Red Tail Tower LLC, that has erected monopole, guyed and self-support towers throughout the Midwest. Our attention to detail ensures each antenna and line installation is performed properly and in accordance with customer and manufacturer specifications. We also have the experience to handle all maintenance requirements needed to return a tower to operation.
