The Flats at Kernan Goes High-Tech with Fiber-Optic Technology
New development partners with industry leader, Connexion Technologies. |
Jacksonville, FL (Nov. 6, 2008) - The Flats at Kernan, a luxury student housing development adjacent to the University of North Florida (UNF) in Jacksonville, is poised to spark a new way of living for college students. As part of an amenity packed environment, this community will soon bring its residents the most advanced entertainment and communications services available in the area. This is possible through a partnership with Connexion Technologies, one of the nation's premier fiber-optic amenity companies. Connexion will build a Fiber to the Home (FTTH) network throughout the community.
“This fiber-optic network will deliver an incredible package of high-speed internet and television services not yet seen by most in the market,” said Will Morgan, President of JDR Communities, developer of The Flats at Kernan. “The beauty of the network is that it will not only meet the current technological needs of our residents, but also their future needs. And best of all, these services are included when you rent at The Flats at Kernan.”
A fiber-optic network can accommodate these future needs through its unlimited bandwidth, one of the many benefits of this emerging technology. This allows the network to accommodate new technologies as they come to market. Fiber is more reliable than coaxial cable because it does not conduct electricity, resulting in fewer outages and greater resident satisfaction.
"There's a revolution occurring with fiber-optic technology and it's contagious," said Glen Lang, founder of Connexion Technologies. "Residents are starting to demand it. It's no longer a question of if, but when fiber will be in most communities across the U.S."
“As our students’ technology demands increase, we know that we’re ready to keep up with the pace at The Flats of Kernan,” said Morgan. “From online coursework and file sharing to online multi-player gaming, thanks to fiber’s unlimited bandwidth, we can always deliver what our students want and need.”
