108 additional homes and businesses gain access to high-speed fiber internet. Lake Region Technology & Communications (LRTC) is celebrating another milestone in its mission to expand reliable, high-speed fiber internet access across rural Oklahoma. LRTC recently completed two Capital Projects Fund (CPF) awards through the Oklahoma Broadband Office, expanding broadband access to 108 homes and businesses in Wagoner County. The Oklahoma Broadband Office recognized LRTC for successfully completing both projects and extended a special thanks to Beverlee Harbuck and Chelsie Stone for their work in closing out the projects. These projects mark another important step toward bridging the digital divide and bringing dependable broadband service to underserved communities throughout the Lake Region service area.

Access to reliable internet is essential for education, healthcare, business and everyday communication. Expanding broadband infrastructure creates new opportunities for rural families and businesses while supporting economic growth and strengthening the communities we serve. As a local internet provider, LRTC understands the importance of keeping our communities connected. We live and work in the same communities we serve, and we are committed to investing in their future by delivering reliable, high-speed fiber internet with no data caps, no contracts and symmetrical upload and download speeds. LRTC extends its appreciation to the Oklahoma Broadband Office for its continued support and partnership in expanding broadband access across rural Oklahoma. We also recognize the hard work and dedication of everyone involved in bringing these projects to completion.

Each completed project represents more than new fiber infrastructure. It represents new opportunities for families, businesses and communities that depend on reliable connectivity.

At LRTC, we're proud to be your local internet provider, and we're committed to connecting more of rural Oklahoma, one project at a time.
