AIU Enters $8 Million Agreement for RWAN: Expedient to Provide Internet and Hosting

PITTSBURGH (Business Wire EON) February 27, 2008 -- School district technology directors are scheduled to tour the facilities at Expedient Communications' Green Tree facility, Parish St. on Monday, March 3, at 1:00 p.m.

The RWAN, which will connect 41 school districts, four vo-tech schools and the AIU, will provide about 100 times more broadband capacity while reducing Internet service fees. Construction is scheduled to begin in the spring, and 18 districts will be connected to the network by September 2008. Since January, school boards across Allegheny County have passed resolutions authorizing the AIU to enter the master service agreement on their behalf.

The new RWAN will increase school network communication speeds from 10 to 1,000 megabits per second, and will enable districts to connect to each other, to schools across the state and to Internet2. This new network is essentially a paradigm shift, and will expand educational possibilities for teachers, administrators and students.

In December the AIU was awarded a three-year, $2.35 million state E-Fund grant for RWAN development. Federal E-Rate funding is pending.
