10 Mayo 2024 - 10:00AM
Great Plains Communications (GPC), the Midwestern digital
infrastructure provider delivering fiber-driven services over their
18,000 mile fiber network, continues to expand their Indiana
footprint to more than 1,200 additional locations in Aurora,
Vevay and other Southeastern Indiana areas. The expansion will
provide residents and businesses access to a full suite of fiber
services including symmetrical residential fiber internet with
speeds up to 2 Gbps.
In addition to Vevay and Aurora projects, funding provided by
the Next Level Connections (NLC) Broadband Grant Program is being
utilized to deliver fiber services to 292 unserved or underserved
residential locations in the counties of Bartholomew, Decatur and
Ripley. Previously, GPC utilized NLC awards in 2021 and 2022 to
expand fiber to more than 600 underserved homes and businesses in
areas of Columbus, Edinburgh, Flat Rock, North Vernon and
Shelbyville, Indiana.
“We are happy to continue to expand our fiber to reach more
Indiana homes, businesses and communities,” said Joe Pellegrini,
President and COO. “Fiber empowers residential customers with the
fastest speed and reliability to work and learn from home, stream,
game and access advanced telehealth options. It also allows
businesses to extend their reach and streamline processes and
creates economic development and growth opportunities.”
Construction in Vevay will be complete in June. Aurora will be
completed in early August. Projects are underway in the remaining
areas and are projected to be finished by year end.
