By automating repetitive tasks, ISPs can enhance customer experiences, improve efficiency, and free up staff to focus on complex issues. Here’s how you can set up automation using the COS Business Engine and its powerful customer portal.

Tell us a little bit about yourself – who are you, and what is your background?

Hi, I’m Adam Pucket, the new Vice President of Sales for the Americas. Born and raised in the Midwest, I’ve called Colorado home for nearly 20 years, where I live with my wife, our four children, a dog, and three cats.

My career has primarily been centered around telecommunications, with additional experience in IT Managed Services, Data Centers, and Private Cloud solutions. Most recently, I worked with Ready.net, collaborating with state broadband offices to deploy ARPA, CPF, and BEAD programs—guiding them from initial challenges through compliance and reporting. I’m passionate about finding innovative solutions to expand broadband access and enable opportunities in underserved areas.

What caught your interest in COS Systems?

I was drawn to COS Systems because its mission aligns with my own: to expand affordable, sustainable broadband access to families and businesses. Witnessing the transformative power of closing the digital divide—whether in education, healthcare, or economic opportunities—has solidified my commitment to this work. Broadband access is no longer a luxury; it’s essential for full participation in modern society, and no family or community should be left behind.

Additionally, COS’s reputation and product were major factors. Within my professional network, COS Systems is recognized as the go-to solution for Open Access networks. The company’s impressive backstory, coupled with its innovative solutions, made my decision to join an easy one. And as I’ve come to learn, the people behind COS are just as exceptional as the product.

What are your goals for the coming months?

My immediate goal is to help communities, providers, and partners implement networks that are both affordable and sustainable, especially in rural, tribal, and underserved areas. I aim to explore innovative solutions to bridge the digital divide and create opportunities that transform lives. This means not just building infrastructure but also fostering ecosystems that enable growth, from local businesses to educational institutions. Success for me is seeing the tangible impact broadband has on a community’s development.

Why should people contact you and press the “connect with Adam” button?

Let’s connect if you share a passion for bringing reliable broadband access to families and businesses. Collaboration is key in the broadband industry, where success depends on strong partnerships across communities, providers, and stakeholders. Whether you’re a financial partner, infrastructure builder, or service provider, working together can make the complex process of deploying fiber networks more efficient and impactful. If we share this vision, I’d love to explore how we can add value to each other’s efforts.

Tell us a fun fact about yourself.

I’m lucky to have the ultimate backyard—our public lands. Whether I’m hiking, camping, fishing, or riding motorcycles, I really enjoy exploring this national treasure. It’s an American treasure that everyone should experience, and no one should take it for granted.
