WINS Contract Update “This proposal does require Fiber Transport services provided by Sunesys today, to be modified in a way that creates a direct connection from your location to Widener University. Sunesys has indicated that the monthly fee will be $1,000, for a managed services facility that is eligible for E-Rate discounts. A onetime installation fee of $2,500 may be split or waived by Widener University to assist with this burden. Contracts with Sunesys will be the districts responsibility to award and pay.” • Nicole Controy • Account Manager • Sunesys, Inc. • 202 Titus Ave. • Warrington, PA 18976 • (267) 927-2065 office • (267) 799-3585 cell • (267) 927-2090 fax
