Key DSCI products include UCx and ITx.
In August 2010, TelePacific purchased Sacramento-based 01 Communications Inc's retail customer business as well as its downtown Sacramento data center. With the acquisition of 01 Communications, TelePacific gained 50 new employees, an additional 1,000 business customers and enhanced IP assets in California, as well as 01's data center. The purchase increased TelePacific's total footprint to 1.18 million access lines, serving about 38,000 business and wholesale customers in California and Nevada.
In December 2010, TelePacific announced the purchase of Covad Wireless, also known as NextWeb, Inc., from MegaPath, allowing TelePacific to offer more services to enterprise customers in California and Nevada.

More specifically, through this acquisition, "TelePacific [gained control of] WiMAX-featured wireless broadband network, a licensed microwave backhaul network, and a high bandwidth wireless network operating in licensed LMDS spectrum.
