What
We Do
K-PowerNet offers wholesale and retail fiber and wireless connectivity
in Missouri, Oklahoma and points beyond. For the service provider,
we offer a competitive solution for inter-LATA and intra-LATA transport
as well as local access.
Who We Are
K-PowerNet is a wholly-owned subsidiary of KAMO Power. Created
on April 15, 1941 under the Rural Electrification Act (1936), KAMO
Power was formed to provide wholesale electrical transmission to
13 rural electric cooperatives. Today, KAMO supplies power to 17
rural electric cooperatives serving more than 280,000 members in
Missouri and Oklahoma. KAMO Power has a total of 1,997 miles of
energized line in both states.
K-PowerNet was created to construct a fiber optic system that would
meet the telecommunications needs of KAMO Power and our member systems.
We have installed fiber on KAMO's transmission and distribution
poles that link all of our communications sites together. Because
of this, we are able to utilize what we need and market the unused
portion of the fiber optic network.
Our History
K-PowerNet is not new to the telecommunications industry.
We have been meeting the telecom and technology needs of electric
utilities for over 30 years. Our first fiber optic system was installed
in 1979. We have been operating microwave and other wireless systems
since the 1960s. We have always operated with a single objective--
the highest reliability at the lowest cost.
