March 4, 2015 – The City of Eagan, Minn. and Enventis, a Consolidated Communications Company (NASDAQ:CNSL, news, filings), are proud to announce their partnership. The partnership between Enventis and the AccessEagan network allows Enventis customers to benefit from connectivity to the City’s 17-mile business fiber network with the fastest speeds available.
“Enventis is pleased to partner with AccessEagan and be able to extend our statewide fiber network to the center of this growing business community,” said Carol Wirsbinski, chief sales officer at Enventis. “Enventis looks forward to bringing the many benefits of gigabit speeds and end-to-end data, voice, cloud and IT solutions to Eagan businesses.
“With Enventis, we’ve found a first-class provider who shares our commitment to excellent service and immediate access to gigabit speeds end-to-end,” remarked Mike Maguire, Eagan Mayor. “Enventis is a Minnesota-established company with a long history of providing leading and reliable technology solutions throughout the state. This isn’t Gig speeds someday, as some folks promise, but Gig right now,” Maguire added.
The Enventis agreement enables Eagan businesses a great option to connect to a leading provider with an expansive Minnesota and national network, backed by local resources and support.
Enventis owns and operates a 2,400 fiber-route, mile network in Minnesota which connects to an 11-state network following its recent merger with Consolidated Communications, based in Mattoon, Ill. The company recently launched a robust suite of cloud services and is a Cisco Gold Certified Partner offering the latest technology and IT solutions. Enventis has Minnesota offices in Edina, Plymouth, Minneapolis, Duluth, Rochester and Mankato.
