During the Nov. 27, 2023 meeting of the Eureka City Council, it was announced that fiber would be coming to town. IdeaTek and the City of Eureka received a Broadband Acceleration Grant award for the amount of $879,977 to bring fiber to the community.
Over recent months, work has progressed in the installation process.
IdeaTek has announced they will host an informational meeting for the Eureka community on Thursday, Nov. 21 from 5:307 p.m. at the Eureka Public Library.
IdeaTek’s goal is to bring fiber internet to all corners of Kansas. The company employs over 160 Kansans, has deployed over 5,500 miles of fiber and has built approximately 150 fixed wireless towers — serving customers in over 100 Kansas communities.
“We execute our vision of internet freedom by serving underserved customers the same today as we have for more than two decades,” said Chief Executive Officer Jerrod Reimer. “Our entire culture is oriented around guiding principles like passion, tenacity and inventiveness, that continue to drive us forward and provide ultra-fast internet to more communities in Kansas.”
“Fiber internet is the gold standard for internet connectivity, and we want to bring this technology to as many communities as possible,” Daniel Friesen, IdeaTek’s Co-Founder and Chief Innovation Officer. “With fiber, we are providing a new foundation for innovation, creativity and progress in the age of the digital economy.”
