EDINBURG, Va., July 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Shentel
Business, powered by Shenandoah Telecommunications Company
("Shentel") (Nasdaq: SHEN), announced today a new collaboration
with York College of Pennsylvania to
provide voice and fiber services across the college's three
campuses, serving an estimated 5,000 students and faculty. Building
upon Shentel Business' broad customer portfolio that includes many
higher education institutions, this partnership provides
York College with significant
cost-savings, the infrastructure to stay connected during remote
learning, and faster speeds on campus.
York College enlisted Shentel
Business to ensure high-speed, dedicated internet access at a time
when colleges across the nation are facing bandwidth challenges in
supporting remote learning during COVID-19. In fact, polling data
by New America/Third Way shows nearly 60% of college
students cite access to stable, high-speed internet as a challenge
during their online education.
"With our new internet solutions, we are better equipped to
ensure our students and faculty can stay connected both on and off
campus during this time," said Ilya
Yakovlev, York College's Chief
Information Officer.
"Shentel is in the business of helping people stay connected,
which is more important now than ever before – especially for
institutions of higher learning," said Craig Venable, Vice President of Commercial
Sales at Shentel. "We are thrilled to partner with
York College in providing the fastest,
most reliable internet and voice solutions to their campus
community that will not only support remote learning, but also
bolster in-person education when normal operations resume."
