Company History

GRN began offering email and internet connectivity in July 1996. In its early years, connections used modems and phone lines, with infrastructure that included a 64 Kbps Frame Relay line, a pool of 256 IP addresses, and a Pentium computer running Slackware Linux. The connection was later upgraded to E3 (34 Mbps) and then developed into point-to-point fiber.
