Great Plains Communications Completes Fiber Upgrade in Kearney
GPC continues to invest in their high-performing network to support rising capacity demand and technology evolution
Blair, Nebraska, Oct. 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Great Plains Communications (GPC), the leading Midwestern telecommunications provider delivering fiber-driven services over their 18,000 mile fiber network, today announced it has completed a recent technology upgrade of its Kearney, Nebraska fiber network. Enhancements will further future proof the infrastructure to support the ongoing rise of bandwidth demand to work, learn, stream and game from home and the rising capacity needs of business owners to streamline processes and extend the reach of E-commerce.
Great Plains Communications acquired fiber assets in Kearney and surrounding Nebraska areas including Grand Island and Lexington along with fiber assets in the Colorado communities of Blackhawk and Central City in 2021 through the acquisition of Kearney, Nebraska-based USA Communications.

This latest upgrade is an example of ongoing GPC network investments to enable an improved customer experience that will be sustainable not only today, but in the future as technology advancement continues.
“The growing demand for bandwidth-intensive applications requires next generation fiber-optic infrastructure that will empower customers with the fastest, most reliable internet and technology services,” said Tony Thakur, Chief Technology Officer of Great Plains Communications. “GPC is dedicated to the ongoing improvement of our high-performing network to support emerging technology and products, while providing a seamless customer experience to our users.”
