Agenda
At the
Board meeting on December 5, 2005, Chairman Connolly requested
that staff provide additional background information about
the County's fiber-optic Institutional Network (I-Net). The
I-Net is a project that was enabled by the Cable Franchise
Agreement with the provision of a dark fiber communications
infrastructure for the County Government and Schools use for
transmission of voice, data, and video services across governmental
and schools buildings.
The implemented I-Net will significantly improve both County
Government and Schools in wide area network services by realizing
significant increase in site connectivity speeds and increased
technology capabilities. Once completed, both County Government
and FCPS will gain the flexibility to explore and implement
various technologies for voice, video and data services realizing
greater operational efficiencies.
