Commercial Customer Access to CWLP's Fiber Network

While CWLP’s current network is primarily used for voice, data and other utility-specific functions, the system is capable of providing a multitude of additional services. The bandwidth CWLP offers can provide commercial and industrial customers the following capabilities:

Commercial and industrial customers will benefit from the opportunity to receive these services from a municipal provider known for its high level of service. Customers will also benefit financially as a result of the additional competition CWLP can bring to the telecommunications service marketplace. Lastly, the community as a whole will benefit from the economic development that will be produced by the expansion of CWLP’s existing fiber optics network.

Today, the utility provides telecommunications services to approximately 70 area entities—including schools, medical facilities, banks, insurance companies, county offices, and car dealerships. The most common use of the telecommunications service provided by CWLP is the linking of remote facilities, enabling customers to connect their local area networks (LANs) to create wide-area networks (WANs) with little or no degradation in data delivery speed.

Commercial/industrial customers interested in learning more about how they might benefit from access to CWLP's’ fiber optic network should call Dale Walters at (217) 757-8520, ext. 2129, or email publicinformation@cwlp.com.
