Philadelphia University Selects Reliance Globalcom for Connectivity Services

Posted on: Thursday, 19 June 2008, 12:00 CDT

Reliance Globalcom Services, a provider of managed network and application delivery services, has announced that it is delivering a mix of network connectivity services to Philadelphia University.

Reliance Globalcom's Premium Internet Service, which the university recently scaled up to 45Mbps, facilitates web-based video and data communications for students, staff, and faculty across the 100-acre main campus.

A direct fiber link via Reliance Globalcom managed metro ethernet service extends high-bandwidth connectivity to the university's satellite campus two miles away, which houses third-year architecture studios and the university's research facilities.

Jeff Cepull, vice president for information resources and chief information officer of Philadelphia University, said: "Reliance Globalcom's ethernet service enabled us to step away from an antiquated network based on a rapidly declining telephony-based technology to a fiber-based technology with tremendous bandwidth potential. The large volume of work coming from our architecture school, which has the largest number of students, is incredible, but the Reliance Globalcom network can handle it."
