Liberty Business, which is Liberty Puerto Rico’s business division, is using ADTRAN’s Gigabit services architecture to deliver gigabit broadband speeds to schools and small-to-medium businesses in rural locations on the island. Liberty Business is offering enterprise customers in western and southern Puerto Rico high-speed connectivity and also is providing the infrastructure to connect previously underserved schools.
Antonio Llona, VP of Liberty Business, points out that many service providers don’t focus on providing connectivity to the more rural parts of Puerto Rico.
“ADTRAN has enabled us to provide a seamless connectivity experience across the entire island that has encouraged entrepreneurship in previously desolate locations. This new capability is boosting our economy and expanding our education systems,” Llona observes.
Liberty Business can now reportedly provide connectivity throughout the entire island, allowing video delivery and a variety of multiservice capabilities.
“In the constantly connected world we live in, geographical location should not be a limiting factor in regards to ultra-fast broadband accessibility,” Mitch Fleming, VP, service provider sales at ADTRAN, says. “The success of a community lies in its ability to resource and support the development, growth and sustainability of its economy. Recognizing this, service providers like Liberty Business are implementing innovative technologies to ensure their customers have access to the necessary tools to support their community’s evolving connectivity requirements. ADTRAN looks forward to continuing to support these communities, whether they be rural, urban, mainland, island, or anything in between, as they overcome geographical barriers and work towards sustainable economic success.”
