Fiber network services provider Unite Private Networks (UPN) says it has extended its footprint into Lawrence, KS. The expansion adds 24 miles of high-count fiber to the Lawrence metro area, with the ability to reach more than 900 serviceable locations across the community.
UPN will connect the new fiber to its core network in Kansas City, MO, with dual 100-Gbps routes. The new route will support the delivery of dark fiber and dedicated lit services scalable from 10 Mbps to 100 Gbps, to business and carrier customers. UPN also will offer a suite of other services.
"Headquartered and founded in Kansas City, we're always eager to grow in serving the Midwest," said Michael Dillingham, regional vice president at UPN. "As a college town adjacent to a large metro experiencing accelerated growth, Lawrence is poised to see its business community continue to thrive. We're looking forward to providing the critical infrastructure to support that growth, and to serving new customers."
"The chamber welcomes Unite Private Networks to our business community,” commented Bonnie Lowe, president and CEO of the Lawrence Chamber. “As a growing region, high-capacity communication is a priority to retain and attract talent to our workforce. This economic investment is exciting, and we look forward to working together."
