Celebrating America’s 250th and
Nex-Tech’s 75th Anniversary

Connecting Communities. Driving Innovation. Building the Future. 

As America approaches its 250th anniversary, Nex-Tech is proud to share its story as part of the national America 250 campaign, with content distributed through USA TODAY’s digital platform. The campaign highlights organizations helping shape the future of communities across the nation and features Nex-Tech’s 75-year journey of innovation, connectivity, and service. What began in 1951 as a rural telecommunications cooperative has evolved into a diversified technology company serving customers across Kansas and throughout the United States. Over the past 75 years, our commitment has remained the same: helping people, businesses, and communities stay connected and prepared for what’s next.  

Featured
National Story

The America 250 campaign story explores how fiber broadband is helping transform rural America and highlights Nex-Tech’s role as an early pioneer of fiber-to-the-home technology in rural communities. The feature also examines how Nex-Tech has continued to evolve, expanding beyond connectivity to provide technology solutions that support businesses, organizations, and communities nationwide.

A Legacy

Nex-Tech’s story spans seven and a half decades of technological evolution.

From delivering telephone service to rural Kansas communities in the 1950s to deploying one of the earliest fiber-to-the-home networks in rural America, Nex-Tech has continually invested in technologies that create opportunities and improve lives. Today, we continue to build on that foundation by helping customers navigate an increasingly connected world.
