Nex-Tech continues to demonstrate its support for local organizations and institutions, especially in Lenora, KS, where it is headquartered. On May 25th, Friday Otuya of Nex-Tech met with the Lenora High School Class of 1964, who was having their 60th anniversary reunion.
As I travel across communities spreading the Nex-Tech story, people always ask me how I learned so much about the United States. While the question is understandable considering that I have been in the U.S. for only a couple of years, the answer is pretty simple. I gained insights into the workings of American society by intentionally learning from books, and other information sources on the internet, which was facilitated by a local library.
Many of us reading already know about all the good things Nex-Tech does. From Home/Business Broadband Services to TV Now, Managed IT and Cloud to Business Communications Infrastructure, Creative Solutions to Physical Security Solutions, and Cybersecurity to our NOC and Carrier Services; not forgetting our youth services, donations, sponsorships, and giveaways to members of our community.
Nex-Tech is headquartered in the City of Lenora, Kansas. The City of Lenora is located along Kansas Highway 9 (K-9), the second-longest highway in the state. I consider Lenora to be approximately (debatable) at the center of Northwest Kansas (Nex-Tech’s core footprint), with Nex-Tech’s services being offered to dozens of towns and cities within a 360° radius.
The American Public Power Association (APPA) has recognized the City of Russell Electric Utility with a “Certificate of Excellence in Reliability” for achieving exceptional reliability in 2023.
From 9:30 a.m. Central Time to noon on May 1st, Nex-Tech will join federal policymakers, Smart Rural Community℠ providers, other broadband leaders, and NTCA–The Rural Broadband Association leadership in Washington, D.C., for “Smart Communities in Conversation”.
Apart from the breathtaking sunsets and sunrises that Kansas is famous for, the wonderful agriculture and energy opportunities, and the good and hardworking people; an often overlooked gem from the sunflower state is art. From hand-crafted designs to picturesque expressions of the prairies and the plains, Kansas art can bring a breath of fresh air to a longing soul.
The City of Herndon is located along Kansas Highway 117 (K-117) in Rawlins County, Northwest Kansas. Last year, Nex-Tech was awarded a grant to construct a fiber optic network in Herndon, as part of the Lasting Infrastructure and Network Connectivity (LINC) program.
The City of Oberlin is just one hour off Interstate Highway 70 (I-70) in Western Kansas. Located in Decatur County, it has a population of over 1,500 residents and hosts a decent-sized agribusiness, retail, and energy economy.
Long before many of the federal and state programs to support digital adoption and inclusion, long before digital equipment giveaways became mainstream, long before the nationwide effort to bridge the digital divide, Nex-Tech has been committed to all of these in our service footprint.
