Rio Communications was founded in April 1994 as an adjunct online bulletin board service providing customer support for a sister company. Beginning in January of 1995, Rio began to offer basic modem dial-up Internet access for personal and business accounts. The same year, Rio became an independently operated company, shifting the focus of its business to providing wide area networking service (WAN) and expansion of its Internet products. Consolidation of the Internet expansion positioned Rio as a high quality Internet access provider.

In June of 1998, Rio secured status as a CLEC (Competitive Local Exchange Carrier) and received approval as a long distance carrier. These approvals set the stage for a full market push focused on providing bundled communications services to businesses in the metropolitan and rural areas of Oregon.
