American Campus Communities removes the bandwidth as a barrier at the new The Callaway House Austin.

The access to the bandwidth is a major stake in our society today, in terms of opportunities it can create and in terms of value it can generate for everyone. Based on this reality, American Campus Communities, owner and manager of high-quality student housing communities, has expressed its willingness to provide internet
service of up to one Gigabit per resident at the new The Callaway House Austin.

Connectikpeople has discovered that, American Campus chose Austin-based internet provider CampusConnect to deliver a number of industry firsts:

• The Callaway House becomes the nation’s first student housing community to experience internet connectivity of up to one Gigabit per second per resident. Gigabit speed is equivalent to 1,000 megabits per second.
• Connectivity 100 times faster than the average cable internet available in American households, or multifamily residential housing including student housing.
• Direct gigabit connectivity to The University of Texas campus network.
• Unrestricted number of devices enables The Callaway House residents to connect their tablets, laptops, smart phones, televisions and more.

 “This technology infrastructure meets the evolving demand for fast internet service desired by our residents for coursework, social media, online content and other emerging internet services. After an in-depth evaluation of internet providers, CampusConnect surpassed national and local names by their value proposition, expertise, and ability to execute. We are very pleased to have found a local partner to help us achieve this innovative milestone at The Callaway House.” said Bill Bayless, American Campus CEO.
