The Utah Education Network within the Utah
Education and Government Sector
UEN is an educational technology partnership of
public and higher education, providing educational
technology services statewide.
Established by statute and reports directly to the
Legislature and the Governor.
As of the 2012 Legislative Session UEN is now
governed by an 11 member Governing Board
whose members represent higher education,
public education, libraries and state government.
UEN’s Core Responsibility
The network is a public-private partnership between UEN and Utah telecommunications providers.
UEN does not own the network. We lease circuits from telecommunications companies using multi-year contracts.
Provide a statewide
wide area network
(WAN) with robust
and reliable
connectivity to the
Internet for every
public school and
college, and most
public libraries.
