IKANO Communications was founded over 10 years ago as a regional Internet service provider in the Intermountain West and since then has flourished to become the industry leader in private-label, wholesale, and retail Internet services.

The word "ikano" means "to enable" in the Greek language. Thus, IKANO is a leading enabler of Internet services and IP solutions.
