Louisiana Wireless

What Louisiana Wireless does

Louisiana Wireless is a privately held, locally owned telecommunications provider headquartered in Opelousas, Louisiana. The company operates six retail storefronts across South Louisiana—in Lafayette, Houma, New Iberia, Eunice, Lake Charles, and Opelousas—delivering both mobile wireless phone service and fixed-wireless rural internet to individual consumers and small businesses in markets that larger national carriers have historically under-served.

The company's product portfolio is structured around two subscription-based service lines. Wireless phone plans are offered at three price points ($35, $45, and $75 per month) covering talk, text, and data tiers, with month-to-month flexibility and tax-inclusive pricing. Internet service is delivered via fixed-wireless technology across three tiers ($115, $125, and $135 per month), including hotspot-based plans with 500GB or unlimited data and a modem/router tier; the service supports up to 15 connected devices per household. Louisiana Wireless supplements recurring revenue with retail handset sales (iPhone, Android, Motorola, Samsung, Nokia, LG), accessory sales (OtterBox, LifeProof, chargers, Bluetooth earpieces), and a lease-purchase installment financing program for phones.

The business operates a direct-to-consumer go-to-market model in which customers subscribe through walk-in retail traffic, inbound phone calls, or website contact forms. No external investors, parent company, or funding rounds are disclosed. The company differentiates on local ownership, six physical service points, free shipping for customers more than 50 miles from the nearest store, and a stated focus on rural connectivity. Total headcount is five employees, and no financial performance metrics have been publicly disclosed.
