OneCommunity is a nonprofit organization that accelerates the use of information technology in Northeast Ohio in order to drive economic development and improve health care, education, and government services. We are striving to make Northeast Ohio a Smart Region by using technology to connect our community. We believe technology is a key to Northeast Ohio’s return to prosperity. Simply put, no other organization in the region does what OneCommunity does. OneCommunity’s core business is owning and operating one of the world’s most robust fiber-optic, broadband (high-speed Internet) networks. Through that expanding network, more than 1,500 institutions around 24 Northeast Ohio counties – primarily schools, libraries, governments, hospitals, and universities – will eventually be connected to the Internet, and in some cases to each other. These lightning-fast connections, which have produced $35 million in savings for our subscribers, allow for a host of cutting-edge applications, providing a platform for innovation and growth in our region. Other OneCommunity programs address such issues as access to computers and broadband service and building the skills necessary to use them.
Privately owned and funded, Quintillion has built the first and only system of its kind, which serves the American Northwest and North Slope Arctic regions. Quintillion is the owner/operator of this world class telecommunications system. As a wholesale provider, Quintillion offers high-speed broadband to local providers across the state of Alaska. In December 2017 Quintillion completed its 249-mile terrestrial fiber optic cable, beginning north of Fairbanks, Alaska and terminating in Prudhoe Bay, Alaska. The completion of the terrestrial fiber build provides a high-capacity, low latency system, uniquely positioned to serve the needs of the oil and gas industry working on Alaska`s North Slope. Quintillion`s Phase 2 expansion will establish a state-of-the-art fiber optic route between Alaska and Japan to Washington State . This project addresses the need to create a diverse route out of western Alaska and allow future expansion into additional Asian markers. When completed, this system will improve existing network capacity and reduce latency. In addition to Quintillion`s planned Phase 2 expansion, Phase 3 will extend from northeastern Alaska, through the Northwest Passage and connects Alaska to Canada, and extends to Europe”, , with an opportunity for further extension. This expansion will create a diverse and low latency route between Asian and European markets.
