GIS Intern

Who we are:

Ketsen is a next-generation wireless access system equipment vendor. We use the latest millimeter wave technology and a proprietary approach to network deployment that allows us to deploy fiber-like networks faster and more cost-effectively than anyone else. These networks are used to provide internet broadband to homes and small businesses and will be used to offer mobile services in the future too.

We were founded by experienced telecom and fixed-wireless veterans and have spent the past few years (on top of long careers in space) developing technology and refining our approach. Customers love our service.

We are a venture-backed startup and are poised to grow massively.

If you want to give the world an alternative to the cable and telco duopoly that frustrates consumers and pioneer a better wireless future for the world, you should join us.
