Vancouver, Wash. – October 1, 2014 – Integra™, a provider of fiber-based, carrier-grade networking, communications and technology solutions, has completed its acquisition of Seattle-based World Communications, Inc. (WCI) following the receipt of regulatory approvals.

The acquisition, which was first announced in July, brings to Integra a sizable base of enterprise customers who now gain access to Integra’s vast network resources, and will bolster Integra’s talent pool in the Seattle market.
