We work for you. Not the carrier.
Vendor-neutral by design
Konative carries no inventory and owns no network. We represent the buyer's requirements across the full market — not the supplier that pays the highest commission.
100+ suppliers via Avant
As an Avant sub-agent, Konative accesses North America's largest technology services distributor portfolio. You get quotes from the whole market, normalized and compared.
No cost to the buyer
Suppliers pay Konative's fee when they win the business. There is no advisory charge, no retainer, and no obligation to purchase — ever.
One point of contact for life
We stay in the account through provisioning, installation, escalation, billing disputes, and renewal — one accountable advisor for the life of every service.
Two markets. One brokerage.
Konative concentrates on two connectivity markets where vendor-neutral brokerage creates the most value for buyers who are underserved or over-sold by direct carrier reps.
Tribal & Rural Enterprise Connectivity
Casinos, government, healthcare, and education on Tribal lands need carrier-grade connectivity, redundancy, and security — but rarely have a neutral advisor who understands sovereignty and federal funding. Konative is that advisor: vendor-neutral, sovereignty-aware, and built for this market.
Explore Tribal Connectivity →Data-Center Connectivity
Developers build the campus and strategy — but someone has to source the network. Konative brokers transport, dark fiber, wavelengths, cross-connects, and cloud on-ramps into the facility, using our proprietary US & Canada data-center map to get ahead of demand.
Data-Center Connectivity →Backed by real infrastructure data
Konative's brokerage is grounded in a proprietary infrastructure map — power, transmission, interconnection, and indigenous-lands layers across the US and Canada. This is the data engine behind how we assess carrier reach and infrastructure context for every engagement.
Power, transmission, interconnection and indigenous-lands layers — the data engine behind Konative's brokerage.
FAQ
For Tribal-specific procurement and NTIA funding questions, see the Tribal Connectivity FAQ or the full Answers knowledge base.
What is a connectivity broker?
A connectivity broker is a vendor-neutral intermediary who represents the buyer — not any single carrier. The broker solicits quotes from multiple suppliers, compares commercial terms, designs the right solution, and stays involved through provisioning and renewal. Because suppliers pay the broker's fee, there is no cost to the buyer.
What does Konative broker?
Konative brokers the full connectivity stack: dedicated internet access (DIA), lit and dark fiber, wavelengths and transport, SD-WAN, UCaaS and CCaaS, cloud on-ramps (AWS Direct Connect, Azure ExpressRoute, Google Interconnect), SASE and managed security, fixed wireless and mobility, colocation, and data-center interconnection. All sourced through Avant's portfolio of 100+ suppliers.
Why use a broker instead of going directly to a carrier?
A single carrier can only quote its own network. A broker quotes the whole market, identifies supplier constraints before they become delivery problems, normalizes pricing so terms are truly comparable, and holds the supplier accountable through installation. Because suppliers compete for the business, buyers typically see better pricing and terms than they would negotiating alone.
Does Konative cost anything?
No. Konative is paid by the supplier that wins the business, not by the buyer. This is the standard technology brokerage model — the same way travel agents and insurance brokers operate. There is no advisory fee, no retainer, and no obligation to purchase.
What is Avant and why does it matter?
Avant is North America's largest technology services distributor. As an Avant sub-agent, Konative has access to Avant's portfolio of 100+ carriers and cloud providers, enabling us to compare real quotes from the whole market rather than the two or three suppliers any single agent typically carries.
What types of organizations does Konative serve?
Konative serves two primary markets: (1) Tribal enterprises — gaming, government, healthcare, education, and other Tribal businesses that need carrier-grade connectivity with a sovereignty-aware advisor — and (2) data center developers, operators, and AI infrastructure teams that need transport, dark fiber, interconnection, and cloud on-ramps. Konative also serves rural and multi-site enterprises in underserved markets.
How does the process work?
Konative starts with a requirements brief covering locations, bandwidth, resilience needs, and timeline. We then run the supplier market, collect quotes, and present a normalized comparison. After selection, we manage the order through provisioning and installation, then stay in the account for renewals and lifecycle support — one point of contact for the life of the service.
What is the difference between /tribal and /data-center-connectivity?
Both are connectivity brokerage services, just optimized for different buyers. The Tribal page (/tribal) is focused on Tribal enterprises, sovereignty-aware procurement, and federally funded broadband projects. The data-center connectivity page (/data-center-connectivity) is focused on the network layer into data center facilities — transport, dark fiber, cross-connects, cloud on-ramps, and interconnection for developers and operators.
Do I contract with Konative or with the carrier that wins the business?
You contract directly with the winning carrier. Konative runs the sourcing process — collecting quotes, comparing terms, and negotiating on your behalf — but is not a party to the resulting service agreement. This is the standard brokerage structure: Konative represents you in the market, the carrier delivers and is contractually accountable for the service, and Konative stays engaged after signing to manage escalations, billing, and renewals.
What happens after I submit a requirement — how fast do you respond?
Every submission is reviewed and triaged immediately, not queued for a batch response. Inquiries with clear signals — a named organization, a business email, a specific bandwidth or timeline — are prioritized for same-business-day follow-up. Less-defined or exploratory inquiries are still answered, typically within one to a few business days. A principal or advisor reviews every request personally before it's routed, so the reply you get is scoped to your actual situation, not a generic auto-response.
