'We fully expected to stick with our incumbent service provider but were simply blown away by the amount of speed Optimum Lightpath was able to deliver while still saving us money,' said Jeffrey Janover, Director of Technology, Wall Township Public Schools. It was surprised to learn that it could actually boost bandwidth speeds to 100 megabits, pay a flat rate for phone service and consolidate everything onto one bill while still saving $80,000 per year. To meet strong demand from teachers and students to access an enormous amount of online content in the classroom and better deliver a premium 'connect from home' experience, the District initially set out to upgrade to a 45 megabit connection. Further, phone service costs were expensive and varied greatly from month to month.

Despite a fast and robust core network, the District's low-speed 3 megabit Internet connection limited learning opportunities in the classroom.

Wall Township Public Schools was operating an advanced network that consisted of privately owned fiber between buildings and 40 application servers powering a thin client environment that served several thousand clients throughout the district. As a result, more than 5,400 faculty, staff and students across seven schools have access to a dramatically improved technology experience both in the school and at home.

Replacing Verizon, the thirteen year incumbent service provider, Optimum Lightpath helped the District save $80,000 annually while providing speed and service far beyond their expectations for their budget. JERICHO, N.Y., March 9 /PRNewswire/ - Optimum Lightpath®, a market leader in Ethernet-based communication solutions for New York metropolitan area businesses, today announced that New Jersey-based Wall Township Public Schools has selected Optimum Lightpath as its telecommunications provider.
