Go Big Red & Blue

In Aurora, pride runs deep in shades of red, thanks to the hometown Huskies and Nebraska Cornhuskers. But lately, there’s been a new color that’s hard to miss — Hamilton Telecommunications’ branded blue. The recent announcement of Hamilton as the official business IT partner of Nebraska Athletics signals more than just a business deal; it’s a statement of statewide ambition and local pride.
Last week’s partnership announcement was met with enthusiasm at Hamilton’s downtown headquarters, where chants of “Go Big Red” echoed through the building. For a company born and raised in Aurora, securing a partnership with the Huskers is a remarkable achievement that reflects decades of hard work, growth, and community investment.
Hamilton’s iconic blue dot logo will soon be familiar to Husker fans as well, appearing on kiosks, scrolling signs, and digital broadcasts. This means that every time Nebraska’s biggest sports fans catch a game, they’ll also be catching a glimpse of a local success story — one that proudly calls Aurora home.
This partnership also speaks to the character and culture of Hamilton Telecommunications. As much as the company is rooted in cutting-edge technology and innovation, it’s equally invested in its community. Employees are known for their volunteerism and leadership in local clubs and organizations, and the company’s support of community events is unwavering. That commitment to giving back has been part of Hamilton’s DNA for 125 years, and it’s one of the reasons why the partnership feels so fitting.
But this isn’t just about the past. It’s about looking forward. COO Dan Molliconi made it clear that this deal is a springboard for statewide growth — taking Hamilton’s reliable, people-first technology from the heart of Aurora to every corner of Nebraska. With plans to triple the staff size of Hamilton Business Technologies and expand services in managed IT, cybersecurity, and business phone systems, the partnership is both a symbol and a strategy for the future.
As Hamilton’s presence expands, so too does Aurora’s reputation. The town that once nurtured a small telephone cooperative now serves as the headquarters for one of the Midwest’s leading independent communications companies. This new partnership with the Huskers reaffirms that Aurora is not just a dot on the map but a thriving, innovative community making waves across the state.
Congratulations to Hamilton Telecommunications on this exciting new chapter. Your success is our success, and we’ll be cheering you on every step of the way. 
Go Big Red — and Blue!
