Stolz Telecom Expands Operations into Kansas to Support Public Safety and Utility Communications

Stolz Telecom, a trusted provider of mission-critical communications systems and services, today announced its expansion into the state of Kansas. The expansion further strengthens the company’s ability to support public safety agencies, electric utilities, water authorities, cooperatives, and other critical-infrastructure operators across the central United States.

Effective January 2, 2026, Stolz Telecom will operate as a 100% employee-owned company. This ownership structure reinforces the company’s long-term commitment to service, accountability, and customer partnership. Employee ownership aligns every team member directly with the success of the customers and communities they serve.

“With our transition to an employee-owned company, this expansion into Kansas is especially meaningful,” said Robert Stolz, President of Stolz Telecom. “Our team has a personal stake in doing things the right way, designing reliable systems, standing behind our work, and supporting customers for the long haul. Kansas agencies and utilities deserve partners who are invested for the future, and that is exactly what employee ownership represents.”

With more than 15 years of experience, Stolz Telecom delivers comprehensive land mobile radio (LMR) and communications solutions, including P25 and DMR radio systems, dispatch and console integration, microwave and backhaul networks, subscriber programming, system optimization, and ongoing maintenance and support. The company’s expansion into Kansas will bring these services closer to customers who rely on resilient communications for public safety response, grid operations, field crews, and emergency coordination.

Stolz Telecom is recognized for its open-standards, multi-vendor approach. This allows public agencies and utilities to select best-fit technologies while avoiding vendor lock-in and maintaining flexibility for future growth. This approach is particularly valuable for utilities and cooperatives managing geographically diverse service territories and evolving regulatory and operational demands.

“Public safety and utility communications share the same core requirements, reliability, coverage, interoperability, and uptime,” Stolz added. “Our experience supporting mission-critical operations in Oklahoma and Texas translates directly to the needs of Kansas communities, utilities, and infrastructure providers.”

The Kansas expansion will include localized project support, faster response times, hands-on system support, and long-term lifecycle services designed to keep critical communications operating when they matter most.
