CHARLOTTE, N.C. and MANSFIELD, Texas, Sept. 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Conterra Broadband Services, a leading provider of private fiber optic broadband networks, has announced that it has entered into a multi-year agreement to deploy an all-fiber optic network to support the data, video and voice requirements of the Mansfield Independent School District ("Mansfield ISD"). The 10 Gigabit fiber optical network will connect all of the district's schools and administrative facilities with the Mansfield ISD Data Center. The district serves approximately 33,000 students and 4200 staff members.
When completed, the fiber optical network will be scalable to 100 gigabits per location with no supplementary construction. Conterra monitors, manages and supports its networks on a 24x7x365 basis and guarantees network performance and reliability.
According to Dr. Sean Scott, the Mansfield ISD Assistant Superintendent of Technology & Information Services, "In order to meet our district's vision and commitment to our students, parents, and community, the need to partner with a specialized optical broadband provider is critical to our educational goals." Dr. Scott added, "With Mansfield ISD's increasing reliance on virtual computing, the growth of mobile computing and state online assessments, and reliance on cloud based instructional resources, we must grow our network to meet the demand of our technology needs for today and long into tomorrow, by implementing Conterra's private fiber broadband network solution."
Conterra's EVP Greg Spraetz cited, "We are accelerating our multi-million-dollar investments in Texas by offering state school districts future proof network solutions to support the limitless surge of bandwidth and reliability requirements in the education sector. The Mansfield ISD broadband network will be added to Conterra's dozens of K-12 broadband networks in Texas, which include new fiber services contracts with El Paso ISD, Judson ISD, Tyler ISD and South San Antonio ISD. With the proliferation of video program & cloud-based applications, one-to-one tablet initiatives, and other emerging technologies, Conterra is delivering market leading fast, secure and reliable wide area network services that are essential to these evolving curricula." Dr. Scott added, "Conterra Broadband will provide us with a highly-reliable, scalable, private WAN that will deliver dedicated 1 or 10 Gbps to every Mansfield location. As our technology platforms evolve to support a cloud-based environment, this private network, due to be completed in early summer of 2016, is essential for student learning."
