Hey, Nickerson — Internet Freedom™ is here.

IdeaTek expanded its fiber footprint in the Reno County city, giving businesses and households access to gigabit speeds at affordable prices.

The expansion furthers the company’s mission of providing Internet Freedom to Kansas communities, said Daniel Friesen, IdeaTek’s Co-Founder and Chief Innovation Officer.

“We are extremely excited for the opportunities this much-needed fiber investment will bring to Nickerson,” he said. “Our mission of internet freedom means we believe everyone should have access to high-speed fiber internet – no matter where they live. We look forward to providing residents and businesses with the world-class connectivity they deserve.”

Last year, IdeaTek deployed wireless internet to the city and surrounding residences. It was developed as a temporary solution for remote areas.

Friesen said that investment in fiber is a scalable solution for Kansas’ future growth. “Our mission is to build to the standards of the future, not today.”

With this rollout, IdeaTek offers unlimited, uncapped, symmetrical speeds of up to 2 gigabits per second. IdeaTek also does not require contracts.

The expansion into Nickerson is one of several community builds IdeaTek has planned for 2022. Crews are also finishing constructing fiber in Lindsborg and Goddard.

Based in Buhler, IdeaTek was founded by Daniel Friesen and four high school friends in 1999. Today, the company employs over 130 Kansans and is continuing to grow. The team is dedicated to the mission of connecting underserved communities with affordable high-speed internet.

To date, IdeaTek has deployed more than 4,000 miles of fiber — plus built more than 100 fixed wireless towers — serving customers in nearly 70 Kansas communities.
