Who We Are
K-PowerNet is a wholly-owned subsidiary of KAMO Electric Cooperative, Inc. (KAMO Power). KAMO Power was formed on April 15, 1941 under the Rural Electrification Act of 1936 to provide wholesale electrical transmission to thirteen rural distribution electric cooperatives. Today, KAMO supplies power to seventeen member cooperatives serving more than 330,000 consumers in Missouri and Oklahoma. KAMO Power maintains 2,900 miles of energized line.
K-PowerNet was created to market a fiber optic system constructed to meet the communications needs of KAMO Power and its member distribution systems. Fiber optic cable has been installed which links all of our communications sites together. We are able to utilize what we need and market the remainder, thus enabling broadband internet and state-of-the-art telecommunications services to rural areas in the four states.
What We Do
K-PowerNet offers wholesale and retail fiber-based telecommunication services in Kansas, Arkansas, Missouri and Oklahoma. For the service provider, we offer a competitive solution for inter-LATA and intra-LATA transport as well as local access.
Our History
We are not new to the telecommunications industry. We have been meeting the telecom and technology needs of electric utilities for more than 50 years. We have been operating microwave and other wireless systems since the 1960s and installed Oklahoma's first fiber-optic system in 1979. We have always operated with a single objective in mind -- the highest reliability at the lowest cost.
