FAIRHOPE, Ala., Aug. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- OberaConnect, a leading provider of managed IT and connectivity solutions across the Gulf Coast and beyond, has been selected as the technology partner for the new K-1 Center in downtown Fairhope—a transformative redevelopment project led by the Baldwin County Economic Development Alliance (BCEDA).

Announced at the recent ribbon cutting ceremony hosted by BCEDA and the City of Fairhope, the K-1 Center will serve as a regional, state-of-the-art innovation hub designed to attract and support startups, entrepreneurs, and industry leaders to the technology-business incubator. OberaConnect will be responsible for delivering core infrastructure to power the building's connectivity and security, including:

• Area-wide Wi-Fi coverage
• Cybersecurity systems utilizing SonicWall technology
• Interior and exterior surveillance camera systems
• A dedicated primary fiber circuit with automatic failover backup
• Fully managed network services

"This project is about fueling innovation and building an ecosystem where ideas can take root and grow," said Devon Harris, Owner & Managing Member of OberaConnect. "We're proud to play a foundational role in helping bring that vision to life through secure, reliable, and expertly managed technology services."

OberaConnect's role in the K-1 Center project is especially meaningful, marking a full-circle moment for the Gulf Coast-based company. It was through Hatch Fairhope—now calling the K-1 Center its new home—that OberaConnect received the early mentorship and guidance it needed to grow from a local startup into one of the region's premier technology providers.

"OberaConnect is one of Hatch Fairhope's standout success stories," said Keith Glines, Strategic Partnerships Director at Hatch Fairhope. "Devon Harris started her tech company at Hatch Fairhope in 2021 with a big vision and a small team. Fast forward a few years, and they've grown to over 30 employees and are now serving clients in 14 states. Seeing that kind of growth has been amazing. We are proud to work alongside them to keep pushing innovation forward in Baldwin County."
