Everywhere Wireless

Everywhere Wireless

Everywhere Wireless was founded in 2012 by Keegan Bonebrake and partners to address the limited broadband options in Chicago's dense multi-tenant residential buildings. The firm designs, builds, and operates proprietary fiber-to-the-building internet infrastructure, contracting directly with condo boards and property management firms to serve as the exclusive high-speed provider for thousands of apartment units. The model sidesteps the last-mile copper owned by legacy telephone and cable operators. The firm deploys capital into physical fiber buildout, rooftop microwave antennas, and in-building Ethernet distribution systems, making it a real-asset investment vehicle structured as an operating business. Asset classes include fiber-optic infrastructure, wireless spectrum leases, and network operations centers. Stage coverage is exclusively early-to-mid-lifecycle infrastructure assets within Chicagoland. The company announced coverage expansions to the West Loop and South Loop neighborhoods in 2022, and confirmed connectivity to public computing centers in underserved parts of Chicago via the city's 'Chicago Connected' broadband program. Everywhere Wireless operates from a single headquarters in Chicago's Ravenswood neighborhood, employing approximately 87 engineers, network architects, and support staff across installations and network operations. The firm's network currently passes tens of thousands of residential units, and the footprint continues to expand into adjacent high-rise corridors. May 2023: The company disclosed a strategic capital raise from a group of family offices to fund continued fiber densification and extend its network into additional Chicago wards, signaling an appetite to grow well beyond its original Lakefront concentration. The structural differentiator is its exclusively in-territory, vertically integrated real asset model: Everywhere Wireless owns or irrevocably leases the in-building connectivity infrastructure, integrating real estate access rights, physical fiber, and operating software in a single entity. Unlike venture-stage technology companies seeking national scale, the firm concentrates capital at block-by-block density in one metropolitan area, which entrenches it against future competitive overbuilds.
