Anticipating, scaling, and managing communications at pace

Reliable, high-availability connectivity in network communications is absolutely critical for any municipality. This is certainly the case for Celina, TX, with its need to support essential public services, such as police, fire, EMS 911 dispatch, public works and safety, engineering, parks and recreation, and more.

Even more pressing, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, Celina is presently the fastest growing city in the country.

Such positive growth brings challenges. Constant excavation for construction projects has often resulted in severed lines. Essential service centers were frequently relocating to better serve ever shifting concentrations of population. Even weather events have exacerbated already difficult day-to-day scaling issues.

A fast-growing Celina needed a major change — and fast.
