The Utah Education Network originated in a predecessor organization, the State Educational Telecommunications Operations Center. Presently, it is organized as a consortium of education, government, and business agencies working together to serve the needs of students and end users. Focus on the acquisition of curriculum and programming that will include the most creative thinking, the most effective instruction, and the most productive materials available, and provide access to these resources for the learner when and where they are needed.
Plans exist to add new sites each year.
Enrollments and use continue to increase. The original microwave delivery system has been modernized to include a variety of microwave and telecommunications technologies. A site will be able to view as many of those channels as it has separate viewing systems.
