The 5 year agreement calls for UPN to provide a 10 mile Fiber Optic Network through much of Gainesville, Georgia.

“The Gainesville School District was looking for a dedicated fiber solution allowing them guaranteed bandwidth to every location. Our advanced fiber network allows us to deliver very large amounts of data in a manner which provides each location its own set of dedicated fiber,” said Rob Oyler, Senior Vice President, Business Development for UPN. “Gainesville City Schools is an important customer for our expansion into Georgia. We are very pleased they selected us to deliver the infrastructure necessary for their future technological growth.”

“Gainesville City Schools was very impressed by UPN’s value proposition. Our challenge has been bandwidth allocation to some of our schools. UPN’s network design removes all of our previous choke points and guarantees we’ll have dedicated and guaranteed bandwidth,” said Phillip Martin, IT Director for Gainesville City Schools. “Their solution was the best choice without a doubt.
