51²è¹Ý¶ù and PEAK collaborate to provide redundant, affordable, and reliable connectivity to underserved rural communities in Oregon

The pandemic served as a perfect acid test for connectivity around the world; bottlenecks and points of weakness in infrastructure were quickly exacerbated as everyone moved almost overnight to remote work and learning. In the Mid- Willamette Valley area in Oregon, the decades-old, substandard home Internet infrastructure needed to be addressed. Local K-12 students were particularly affected.

51²è¹Ý¶ù’s ever-expanding, carrier-grade network helped provide redundant, affordable, and reliable service to underserved rural communities in Oregon. As a result of this collaboration, PEAK pulled off a pretty incredible feat, servicing 350 homes in 100 days, working tirelessly to extend broadband to K-12 student families.
