Boldyn Networks Expands Connectivity in Community Colleges

Boldyn Networks, an established leader in shared communications infrastructure, has announced an exciting renewal of its partnership with the Alabama Community College System (ACCS). This partnership is set to bolster residential connectivity across multiple community colleges in Alabama, marking a significant step in enhancing student living environments.

Community colleges are increasingly focusing on providing residential offerings, and Boldyn is positioned at the forefront, delivering scalable and high-performance connectivity solutions tailored for student housing needs. The recently renewed Joint Purchase Agreement (JPA) allows community colleges participating in the ACCS to tap into preferred pricing and access streamlined procurement processes for Boldyn's residential connectivity solutions, affectionately known as ResNet.

The JPA was established through a competitive bidding process designed to identify reliable vendors capable of providing essential networking, communications, and technology services to the institutions involved. With this agreement, educational institutions across Alabama now have a proven pathway to enhance their digital infrastructure, thus ensuring a more supportive learning and living experience for their students.

Currently, Boldyn Networks has successfully implemented residential connectivity solutions in numerous community colleges across the United States, illustrating the company’s commitment to this sector. For example:

• - Marion Military Institute in Marion, AL, collaborates with Boldyn to ensure that cadets enjoy uninterrupted and secure Wi-Fi access in campus housing, addressing the critical necessity for consistent connectivity.
• - Coastal Alabama Community College in Bay Minette, AL, has been leveraging Boldyn’s services since 2017 to provide dependable Wi-Fi in its two residence halls, enhancing the student experience in terms of comfort and convenience.
• - Lake Tahoe Community College (LTCC) in South Lake Tahoe, CA, famous for being the highest elevation college in California, is preparing to house students in its new on-campus residence hall, supported by Boldyn’s ResNet services, ensuring seamless connectivity.
• - Richard Bland College in Petersburg, VA, first partnered with Boldyn in 2008, and since then, it has seen an elimination of student requests for tech support due to the reliability of the ResNet service.

As highlighted by Matt Loecke, Senior Vice President of Higher Education at Boldyn Networks, the role of community colleges in catering to residential student populations has become increasingly pivotal, and so has the necessity for robust connectivity solutions. According to Loecke, "Our deployments are specifically designed to provide high-performance networks that evolve with student enrollment, nurturing both academic success and overall campus operations. The renewed agreement with ACCS reaffirms our dedication to expanding our innovative solutions across various community college landscapes.”

Boldyn's services extend beyond just residential networks. The company currently supports close to 20 community colleges with additional offerings such as video services, managed IT, and executive advisory services. The ACCS JPA simplifies the procurement process by allowing institutions to engage with pre-approved vendors, significantly expediting the transition from planning phases to active deployment of essential services. As the demand for student housing continues to rise within community colleges, the role of connectivity must be front and center, as it forms the backbone of student experiences and operational efficiency.
