Great Plains Communications lights packet networking in over 100 Nebraska markets
Major metro markets include Omaha, Blair, Gretna, Ralston, Papillion, La Vista, Kearney, McCook and Broken Bow, with plans for full network rollout completion in late 2024.
The latest technology deployment will support high bandwidth delivery up to 100 Gbps next-generation packet services to enterprises, towers, wholesale customers and hyperscalers, while supporting higher bandwidth capability to residential users. GPC’s packet technology is based on segment routing providing optimum network performance and flexibility with operational simplicity, reduced downtime and fast reroute support.
Tony Thakur, CTO of Great Plains Communications, said that next-gen packet networking allows the provider to achieve two main goals: enable faster connectivity and optimize the customer experience.
“These types of forward-thinking improvements also position our network and our customers for future success as technology advancement and bandwidth demand continues to evolve,” said Tony Thakur, CTO of Great Plains Communications.
