SOME HISTORY

North Central Kansas Community Network (NCKCN) and Cunningham Telephone & Cable (CTC) first began working on the NCK-WiFi project for North Central Kansas back in 2015.  After several months of thorough testing, to ensure that all kinks were worked out, this project began to take off with flying colors!

After careful planning from both companies, CTC (a telephone, Internet/video, and Cable company) began the first step to establish what NCK-WiFi is today – they began and are in charge of placing fiber cables down where needed so that NCK-WiFi can work properly.  All the while that CTC places these fiber cables down, NCKCN (a community-based wireless Internet service provider) started taking the next step – they began working diligently on setting up the required equipment at certain locations.  They then conduct further testing to ensure each location works properly before making the NCK-WiFi network available for public use.  Once testing is over at each location, a new NCK-WiFi hotspot is born.  These hotspots are made available for anyone as long as they are within the vicinity (range) of that particular hotspot location.

As more and more hotspots pop up around surrounding areas, the stronger the network will become.  At this point, the NCK-WiFi network is still in its infancy stage, but NCKCN and CTC have plans on expanding the network up to 20+ different locations within the North Central Kansas region.
