Customer: Bucknell University
Bucknell University's customized high-speed dedicated Internet solution and Managed Remote Access VPN illustrate PenTeleData's trusted commitment to educational partners throughout Pennsylvania - and beyond.

This innovative partnership fostered between PenTeleData and the 156-year-old, 3,550-student coeducational liberal arts undergraduate institution has forged new networking and Internet connectivity standards for schools across the country.

In March, Bucknell University hosted a well-attended one-day technical seminar on its Lewisburg, PA campus. This informative conference featured an introduction to the Remote Access Service provided to the university by PenTeleData.

John Jantzi, Systems Integrator of Information Services and Resources for the Computer Center at Bucknell University, led the discussion on the topic of PenTeleData's Remote Access Service.

As the provider of high-speed dedicated Internet and networking services to Bucknell, the university extended to PenTeleData the opportunity to invite current and potential PenTeleData customers to the seminar. Representatives from schools, hospitals and businesses throughout the tri-state area participated in the event, which enjoyed a large turnout.

Bucknell University voiced its satisfaction with the quality of dependable service delivered by Pennsylvania's most trustworthy Internet Service Provider, PenTeleData. How pleased is Bucknell University with PenTeleData's Internet connection? "Bucknell University is very happy with the service we have received from PenTeleData," said Jantzi. He also expressed admiration for PenTeleData's performance and dependability.

Jantzi explained that PenTeleData has helped Bucknell directly in two major areas.

"When a national provider was unsuccessful to provide reliable T3 service to the university, PenTeleData stepped up to the plate and helped us out," Jantzi said. "PenTeleData went the second mile to help us out of a sticky situation."

"The most gratifying experience working with PenTeleData was to develop a VPN solution for Bucknell," he said. "Bucknell had a need to replace or outsource our existing dial-in solution. We at Bucknell decided we wanted to partner with a local ISP to provide a virtual private network, out-sourcing all the modems, improving the local 'number' dial-in radius and at a reasonable cost to the University."

Jantzi cited yet another reason Bucknell University enjoys working with PenTeleData: its staff.

"The most positive experience has been working with the Engineering Staff," he said. "Professional and refreshingly bright."

Making good on its commitment to provide the best quality Internet services and networking solutions throughout Pennsylvania and beyond, PenTeleData's partnerships with healthcare, education, government and business entities create the most complete Internet solutions.
