Rutherford County Schools in partnership with Rutherford County Government and PANGAEA has leased a state-of-the-art fiber optic wide area network (WAN) including 10-gigabit connections to three middle schools and three high schools and 1-gigabit connections to ten elementary schools and three administrative sites. This network along with the upstream link from PANGAEA has allowed our teachers and students the ability to reach a wealth of educational resources that before were almost unusable due to lack of bandwidth and network capacity. It also allows the students in Rutherford County Schools to access the many resources and educational opportunities that many other affluent school districts have had in place for several years. Our students now can compete with the students in those areas and be better prepared for higher education and/or the world of work (global economy).

Polk County Schools has used PANGAEA for over 12 years to provide access to online resources for both our instructional and business operations. During this time, we have migrated many of our technology services to cloud based operations and the PANGAEA network has grown with us over the years. Since day one, they have supported our needs extremely well. The most recent addition to our network is a county-wide Voice Over IP phone system that will support about 300 phones. The PANGAEA network now carries all of the data and voice services to 8 separate schools in the county. We are very pleased with the service and value we receive from PANGAEA and we couldn’t continue to be one of the highest performing school systems in the state without the reliability of this network.

Stu and Ron at PANGAEA have been responsive to any fiber issues. Fiber cuts are handled quickly and with quick status updates; both voice and text. PANGAEA has also proactively replaced standard aerial fiber with armored fiber in places where damage could occur due to nature (squirrels). We have also upgraded our middle and high schools to 10GB links with no issues over PANGAEA fiber.

Having a solid internet provider like PANGAEA has made a significant impact on our school system. The tools we use on a daily basis would not be nearly as effective without the fast and reliable internet connection that PANGAEA provides.
