Established in a basement, in 1993, OmniLEC (formerly BitWise Systems), actually started off as a computer networking, sales, and repair company. After a short time, we moved to the upstairs office and started our Internet business. In December 1997, BitWise moved from its Peoria Heights location to a retail space at the intersection of University and Glen in Peoria. By 1998, we were becoming too large for our small staff. It was decided at that time to find a larger office and hire more employees. In August 1999, BitWise Systems was incorporated and moved to a storefront on Pioneer Parkway. On June 1st 2004, the move was made to an office located at 682 High Point Lane in Peoria. By the end of 2003, we held over 200 dial-up cities covering most of central Illinois.

In the summer of 2000, we began deployment of our High Speed Wireless network, offering residential and commercial broadband access to customers both inside and outside the range of cable or DSL.

After years of planning and negotiations, we achieved our CLEC status with the State of Illinois late into 2001. In the fall of 2002, we consolidated our Network Operations Center into our own state-of-the-art facilities located in downtown Peoria. With multiple backbone connections we offer unprecedented network stability. We were then able to terminate our own calls and continue to be the low price leader in the Internet Services industry. Becoming a CLEC enabled us to provide high speed Internet and phone service to customers in specific cities. In December 2004, Bitwise Systems dial-up was sold in order to give full attention to our growing phone business. In 2005, the company name became OmniLEC.
