Recently S&T provided the underserved Weskan school system with ultra-fast internet helping to close the costly digital divide. This led to the development of a new fiber network in the community of Sharon Springs. Once again, reducing the connection gap by providing world-class internet speeds on a reliable local network.

Wireless broadband is a great option to serve residents too far from S&T’s robust wireline service. Ultimately, partnerships with advanced wireless equipment vendors have given S&T the confidence to expand wireless services further, including the recent purchase of Wheatland Broadband. Upgrading and integrating these wireless networks into S&T’s established fiber network will significantly improve the reliability and speeds for current and future wireless customers.

S&T’s roots, like Wheatland’s, are planted in a hard-working, locally-focused cooperative model, and both share a similar mission to serve Western Kansas communities. S&T will continue to invest in fiber buildouts and fixed wireless radio upgrades. As the needs of speed-hungry remote workers, students, video streamers, and gamers continue to grow, S&T will remain committed to keeping rural Kansas connected.
