Wave Broadband connects Modesto schools

Wave Broadband's Wave Business division has connected 39 Modesto City Schools learning facilities in California to the district's data center hub. The dark fiber solution is designed to let the district deploy its own network gear to deliver secure connections between sites at the maximum speed its hardware can support.

With dark fiber, the district's IT team can scale secure data connections at speeds up to 100 Gbps between its hub and schools, customizing the connection capabilities for each facility and office. The district's IT team can also allocate more bandwidth during registration or exam periods when online activity is at its peak.

The resulting infrastructure also allows Wave to more affordably bring fiber-based Internet connectivity to other businesses and government agencies in the area.

"We pride ourselves on delivering carrier-class connectivity and outstanding customer service," said Patrick Knorr, executive vice president of commercial services with Wave. "We're very excited to provide these solutions to the Modesto City Schools to enhance education. And leveraging this new fiber infrastructure to provide the best possible Internet service for the community will be another win for the area."
