Summary
IdeaTek Telcom agreed to buy Wave Wireless, a Labette County broadband provider, in a deal expected to close this fall pending regulatory approval.
Wave Wireless, founded in 2000, will keep day-to-day operations running during the transition as IdeaTek expands its fiber and fixed wireless footprint across southeast Kansas.
8-gig residential service is slated for Wave Wireless customers, with symmetrical upload and download speeds, unlimited data and no contracts.
IdeaTek also said it may extend fiber into areas now covered by Wave Wireless's fixed wireless network while maintaining service for existing customers.
Southeast Kansas is part of a broader buildout: IdeaTek is already building fiber in Parsons, recently expanded in Eureka and Baxter Springs, and has active projects in Topeka, Emporia and Wichita.
