“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.”
