Outside Sales Representative

About Us:

IdeaTek grew from a vision of "Internet Freedom" for all. We saw a critical need for affordable, reliable high-speed internet in underserved rural communities across Kansas. Recognizing the transformative power of connectivity, we embarked on a mission to bridge the digital divide and empower individuals, families, and businesses with the tools they need to thrive in the modern world.

Our commitment to Internet Freedom goes beyond simply providing access. We are deeply invested in the long-term growth and prosperity of the communities we serve. We believe that high-speed internet is not a luxury, but a fundamental necessity for education, economic development, healthcare, and civic engagement. By building robust, scalable fiber optic infrastructures, we are laying the foundation for a brighter future for generations to come.

At IdeaTek, we are more than an internet service provider. We are a catalyst for change, a champion for rural communities, and a passionate advocate for digital equity. We understand that the fight for Internet Freedom is ongoing, and we are dedicated to continuing our efforts to connect every corner of Kansas and beyond.

Join us as we work to create a world where everyone has the opportunity to thrive, regardless of their geographic location. Together, we can build a more connected, equitable, and prosperous future for all.
