Testimonials
The service is fantastic and has transformed our capacity overnight. KINBER is providing a great service that we can offer to the incubator’s clients … who provide services ranging from online training modules and imaging to designing and developing high-performance digital hardware systems for genomic research.
Business Consultant, Small Business Development Center at Bucknell University
I leverage the [PennREN’s high-speed connection] speed every day — in my field, it’s just an expectation. Really, what I’ve noticed is that there haven’t been any problems. I look at the usage all the time, and it’s just wide open.
Bucknell University Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Though commodity internet is the first service we are purchasing, KINBER’s PennREN … enables many other possibilities, including a library management system, video conferencing, and synchronous online courses.
