Unite Private Networks, a provider of high-bandwidth, fiber-based, communications networks and services, is expanding its headquarters to a 15,000-square-foot operations center at the 500,000-square-foot Zona Rosa mixed-use tech hub and urban center in Kansas City, Missouri.

The company expects to create up to 30 new jobs over the next five years as it continues to invest significantly in telecommunications infrastructure in the state.

“We are proud to continue to call the KC metro our home,” said Kevin Anderson, Chairman/CEO of UPN. “We’ve created nearly 100 new jobs over the last couple of years, with the majority being right here in Kansas City, and we plan to continue that growth into the future.”

“Kansas City continues to strengthen its role as a hub for tech talent thanks to cutting edge companies like UPN which are creating jobs and growing their business,” Governor Jay Nixon said. “I congratulate UPN on their continued success and the high-paying, highly skilled jobs they have created for Missouri.”

To assist Unite Private Networks with its expansion, the Missouri Department of Economic Development offered a strategic economic incentive package that the company can receive if it meets strict job creation criteria.
