Unite Private Networks Announces Fiber Network Expansion

Unite Private Networks (UPN) announces a major fiber network expansion connecting the Kansas City and Omaha markets.  The nearly 200 mile route will follow the I-29 corridor, extending north from Kansas City through St. Joseph, northwest Missouri, southwest Iowa, and ultimately connect to existing UPN fiber networks in Omaha, Lincoln and southeast Nebraska.  Construction is expected to be complete by Q1 2015.

UPN’s heavy-count fiber build will support demand driven by carrier, government, data center and enterprise business customers. With this new route, customers will have increased access to UPN’s suite of products, including Ethernet, wavelength, Internet access and dark fiber. The new route will also provide lower latency and diversity from existing carrier networks in the region.

UPN currently serves over 250 communities across 20 states, with over 4,000 metro fiber route miles and 2,000 on-net buildings.
