NTCA award recipient continues ensuring
economic growth and community development through Gigabit
broadband
ADTRAN®, Inc., (NASDAQ: ADTN), a leading provider of
next-generation networking solutions, announced that Twin Valley of
Kansas is joining its Enabling Communities, Connecting Lives
campaign. Recognized by NTCA- The Rural Broadband Association as a
Smart Rural Community – which recognizes commitment to promoting
rural broadband networks and applications – Twin Valley is
proactively investing in the future of its service areas by
deploying the ADTRAN Gigabit broadband platform. Twin Valley and
the city of Clay Center, KS are now part of an elite, rapidly
growing group of communities around the country turning to
ultra-fast broadband to stay economically competitive in today’s
data driven economy.
Through its significant investment into the telecommunications
infrastructure, Twin Valley is preparing to deliver Gigabit speeds
to Clay Center residents and businesses in the fall of 2015. As a
result, Twin Valley customers, including hospitality, education and
manufacturing industries can build upon their existing business
operations by effectively supporting both current and emerging high
bandwidth, low-latency applications and services.
“The delivery of Gigabit is a game changer in that it will allow
for significant economic growth opportunities. The ultra-fast
speeds will help businesses expand in the community, as well as
attract new companies to our area,” said Lori Huber, Director for
Clay County Economic Development Group. “Twin Valley saw an
opportunity to build upon their Smart Rural Community designation
and has run with it. Gigabit broadband is more than an economic
investment in the broadband infrastructure for Twin Valley – it’s
an investment in the people and future of Clay Center.”
“Next-generation broadband, specifically Gigabit, is an
essential infrastructure component to our community. In fact, when
talking about Clay Center, I always mention the ‘big three’
elements—our reverse osmosis water system, our own power plant to
ensure reliable energy, and the fact that we have an advanced fiber
broadband from Twin Valley,” said Jimmy Thatcher, Clay Center City
Mayor.
As a Smart Rural Community, Twin Valley has worked aggressively
to foster innovative economic development, commerce, education and
public services use through advanced broadband networks. Business
customers, particularly in the manufacturing industry, are already
reaping the benefits of high-speed broadband, and will continue to
do so with the advanced Gigabit services.
A local third-generation family farm is using ultra-fast
broadband connectivity for monitoring activities and equipment
throughout the farm with Twin Valley’s infrastructure. By enabling
even faster speeds, the farm will be able to simplify operations
more through expanding its remote access to equipment, ultimately
increasing efficiency of labor and resources.
Another locally-owned grain manufacturer has been able to
streamline business operations with increased speeds from Twin
Valley. Having recently developed an Enterprise Resource Planning
(ERP) system for processing production orders company-wide,
inventory and sales orders can remain in sync across divisions.
“Twin Valley has seen just how important advanced broadband is
to our customers. It’s allowing our customers to continue bringing
new and exciting opportunities to enrich the way end-users live,
work and play,” said Scott Leitzel, vice president of operations
for Twin Valley. “ADTRAN has been a great partner and their Gigabit
service platform is enabling us to accelerate the deployment of
premium broadband and other services to homes and businesses in our
community.”
“Time and time again, we’ve heard how beneficial Gigabit is to
service providers and their customers,” said Mitch Fleming, vice
president, service provider sales, ADTRAN. “Twin Valley is another
compelling example of how deploying ultra-fast broadband speeds can
open the doors to new economic opportunities and transform rural
towns and communities.”
