About us

YK Communications is a forward-thinking provider of advanced communications technologies with a long history of innovation. Our company’s current achievements are the result of growth first began in another era under another name. 1948: Our History Begins With Ganado Telephone Company Established in 1948, Ganado Telephone Company was a rural Incumbent Local Exchange Service Provider that supplied voice and data communications services to South Texas businesses and residents of Ganado, Louise, and Markham. 1995: YK Communications Added as a Wholly Owned Subsidiary After partnering with GTE Mobilnet in 1988 to bring cellular telephone service to the area and then teaming with Hughes Communications in 1994 to develop DIRECTV, it became necessary to develop a new business unit to pursue and enhance these new communications technologies. YK Communications was established in 1995 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Ganado Telephone Company to market and support our non-regulated business activities. 2014: Two Companies Unite Under One Name – YK Communications Effective September 1, 2014, Ganado Telephone Company began “Doing Business As” YK Communications.This name change was done to consolidate all services offered by our two companies under a single name to streamline marketing materials and create less confusion for customers. In addition, YK Communications more accurately describes the expanding scope of products and services we offer to our customers, which include: Local Voice Services Unified Communications Solutions Data Communications Services Fiber Optic Transport Services DIRECTV Satellite Services Broadband Internet Services Exede Satellite Internet Services Accelerated Networking Services Web and Email Hosting Services Residential and Commercial Security Systems As technology keeps evolving in the future, YK Communications will continue our spirit of innovation as well as our dedication to helping people connect.

  • Before anyone calls family counseling, yes, this is overly dramatic and filled with teen angst. 😏 But the internet problem? That part is very real. Today’s students rely on a strong internet connection for research, online assignments, educational videos, virtual classrooms, uploading homework and everything else school throws their way. They can put in the time, do the work and meet the deadline, but a spinning buffer wheel doesn’t care how hard they studied. So, parents, maybe the kids have a point this time. Give homework, school projects, streaming and the rest of your connected household an internet connection that can keep up. Because sometimes... it really *is* the internet. 361-771-3334 https://lnkd.in/ds2pqyQi 💜 YK Communications Next to You. Ahead of Technology.

  • There's something special about being a local provider. It's not just about delivering technology, it's about being there to support the organizations that make our communities stronger. 📚 On Friday, August 7, Joel and Hayden spent the day with the staff at St. Philip the Apostle Catholic School, helping get ready for a successful new school year. Joel led cybersecurity training focused on protecting the campus, staff, and students from today's digital threats, while Hayden provided hands-on training for the school's YK Communications Managed Voice Phone System, ensuring their team can stay connected and just a phone call away when it matters most. We're proud to partner with St. Philip the Apostle Catholic School and support the technology that helps keep their campus secure, connected, and ready for the year ahead. At YK Communications, this is what being a local provider is all about: neighbors helping neighbors and investing in the success of our community. 💜

  • A Summer Well Spent! 🌟 As students and teachers head back to school, we're saying "see you later" to one of our summer superstars, Madi Kelly! This summer, Madi joined our Sales & Customer Service team and got a firsthand look at what it takes to help keep our rural communities connected. From learning the ins and outs of customer service to seeing how a local broadband provider serves its neighbors, Madi jumped in wherever she was needed and quickly became part of the YK family. We're grateful for all of her hard work, positive attitude, and willingness to learn. She was a huge help during a busy summer, and we'll definitely miss having her around the office each day. Thank you, Madi, for spending your summer with us! We wish you a fantastic school year and look forward to seeing all the great things you'll accomplish in the future. At YK Communications, investing in local students and future leaders is just one more way we take care of our communities. 💜 #YKCommunications #AllAboutConnections #FutureLeaders #BackToSchool

  • Taking Care of Our Communities 💜📚 Russell and Melanie recently had the opportunity to welcome the amazing teachers and staff of Louise ISD back for a new school year! We were proud to provide breakfast and bags of goodies for the entire faculty as they prepared for another year of educating and inspiring our local students. During the event, we also shared some of the many ways YK Communications partners with our local schools throughout the year, including scholarships, educational grants, student workplace experiences, and classroom, faculty, and parent learning presentations. Supporting education goes far beyond providing connectivity. It's about investing in the people, programs, and opportunities that help our communities thrive. To all the teachers, administrators, and school staff returning to campus, thank you for everything you do. We wish you a safe, successful, and rewarding school year! At YK Communications, that's what we're all about... taking care of our communities and building connections that matter. #AllAboutConnections #LouiseISD #BackToSchool #SupportingEducation #RuralBroadband #TakingCareOfOurCommunities 💜🍎📖
