Internet services

TIES Internet services help schools, districts and libraries protect their technology investment and their budget. TIES Internet services are fault-tolerant and redundant to upstream providers. This ensures that you get the best possible connections to the Internet.

Connection options

TIES’ range of high-speed Internet connection options include:

  • Fiber — a flat-rate transport channel of up to 1 Gb per second to your district
  • Wireless — a cost-effective fixed wireless transport in the Twin Cities metropolitan area at 1.5  to 10 Mb per second
  • DSL — business-class ADSL connections for small sites

      Internet access is available as basic conduit access or in enhanced managed form. Fuctionality performance is increased in the enhanced managed form with additional security management on bandwidth moderation (packet shaping or equalizing).

      Associated services

      With comprehensive web and e-mail services from TIES Technical Services, schools, districts and other organizations don’t have to manage their own mail or web servers, install patches, troubleshoot problems or worry about infection from viruses or other security issues.




    • Internet2 — the next generation of the Internet — gives schools access to a realm of clear, virtual experiences that allow them to expand far beyond their boundaries.
