Our Mission:To bring affordable and reliable Internet access to apartment and condominium communities, commercial properties and municipalities across the country.
Our Story:Anaptyx was founded in 2007 by Kenneth Carnesi (CEO) and Jonathan Rust (COO). Ken and Jon worked together in the finance industry at A.G. Edward’s (now Wells Fargo), where they later left together to start Anaptyx. Frustrated by their own experiences with large residential ISPs, Ken and Jon set out to make internet access within communities more affordable, reliable and easy to use. Anaptyx is able to accomplish this goal by providing WiFi access to wide areas such as apartment and condo complexes through energy efficient, intelligent mesh networking technology.
Since it’s founding, Anaptyx has grown rapidly by closing the digital divide by taking advantage of the most advanced, energy efficient technologies on the market. In June 2008, Anaptyx signed a partnership agreement with Google-funded Meraki - the main provider of Anaptyx’s wireless equipment. After becoming partners with Meraki, Anaptyx completed it’s first municipal wireless network for Harvard Square and has since experienced monthly, double digit growth rates.
Anaptyx is currently a privately held company and operates nationwide, with a primary focus on the Northeast United States and headquarters in Boston. It’s primary target clientele includes REIT’s, apartment and condo owners, commercial properties and municipalities.Our Name:Anaptyx (uh-nap-tiks) is derived from the Greek word “Anaptyxi,” which means expansion or the fostering of expansion.
This word was formed and widely used in the Greek language with relation to Herodotus and his cosmic vision for the Greek cities of Ionia and Aegea to expand westward rapidly to avoid falling to the rulers of the monopolistic Asiatic kingdoms. This campaign ultimately led to the defiant Battle of Marathon, where only three hundred Athenians and Spartans defeated the larger force of ten thousand Persians to protect Sparta; later described by Herodotus as “erga thomasta,” or “marvelous deeds.
We at Anaptyx believe that the same vision Herodotus had for his empire parallels our approach to wireless internet access today; we too expect to expand rapidly and perform marvelous deeds.
