COX DELIVERS VIDEO TO ON-CAMPUS UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA STUDENTS

New 10-year Agreement Includes Video Services to Residence Halls and Graduate and Family Housing Apartments

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – University of Florida on-campus students who don’t travel for football games this fall will be watching Tim Tebow and the Florida Gators on Cox Cable.

Cox Communications recently signed an agreement to serve as the official video provider for University of Florida campus housing until 2018. The new agreement includes 4,672 on-campus residential units and 980 graduate and family housing apartments.

“Cox has a strong history of providing reliable service to the University; it wasn’t hard to commit to ten more years of great service from a trusted provider,” said Norbert W. Dunkel, assistant vice president for student affairs and director of housing and residence education. “Cox’s success in pioneering communications solutions is also important as we consider integrating more video applications into the learning environment.”

Students in University of Florida residence halls and graduate and family housing apartments receive expanded basic video as an included amenity with an option to upgrade to Cox Digital Cable and HD programming. As part of this service, students, as well as all Cox customers in Gainesville, have access to exclusive University of Florida athletics content via Cox Video On DEMAND.

“Universities have very advanced and complex internal communications requirements, but it is also important for them to provide residential video services that help establish a home away from home for students,” said David Saldarriaga, vice president of sales and marketing, Cox Communications - North Central Florida. “Cox works with higher education customers of all sizes to assess all their needs and provide solutions that help create a more positive campus experience.”
