IceWEB, Inc. (OTCBB:IWEB) announced today that its subsidiary Computers
& Tele-Comm, Inc. (CTC) has signed an important new education customer,
the W.E.B.
DuBois Learning Center. CTC will supply advanced broadband services
to their main campus. The DuBois Learning Center’s mission is to raise
the performance level of underserved communities in the Kansas City, MO
area through educational services and applied
state-of-the-art-technology. The school has just celebrated its 40th
anniversary and is expanding into a new facility that lies outside the
area’s in-ground fiber infrastructure.
“Using our advanced communications capabilities, coupled with DuBois’s
radio tower, we are wirelessly providing DuBois the high-speed
connectivity they need for their advanced level of instruction for their
students. This is an exciting win in three ways: we get a new long-term
recurring revenue customer, we increase our geographic area of coverage
giving us access to a new commercial market area, and we assist an
extremely important community resource in accomplishing their mission,”
stated IceWEB’s CEO, Rob Howe.
According to Mr. Harrison May, Director of Computer Science at DuBois,
“Our reading, math and science curriculum relies on cloud based training
software, so access to reliable, fast and uncapped Internet service is
vital to our mission. CTC was able to provide that when no one else
could.”
May continued, “As a not-for-profit, the high cost of trenching fiber
for thousands of feet was not in our budget, but due to our Cisco
Network Academy™ I became acquainted with CTC and thought they may have
the answer. I reached out to Sam Rellier, their Field Manager, and he
noticed the tower and explained how it could be used to connect us. We
will now have state of the art fiber-like service, with direct peering
to the KC NAP, which is also owned by IceWEB. As an adjunct to our
teaching Cisco routing and administration, having the additional ability
to be one hop away from hundreds of area networks and more than 27
Carriers is a true value to our students and our program.”
“Adding the DuBois tower to our network coverage, is a great benefit to
us because it enables us to position our wireless transmissions to an
entirely new geographic area. We can now reach a large group of
additional commercial enterprises who need the same level of service as
DuBois. Additionally, by working with schools like DuBois we are helping
to insure the availability of technical talent needed by companies like
ourselves and our clients while also helping many underserved students
in the process. It’s a true win-win scenario,” said CTC Chief
Technologist, Graeme Gibson.
