2. Background for Gig.U Lead to …

3. The University-Community Next Generation Innovation Project • Over the spring and summer of 2011, 37 leading research universities, working in partnership with their local communities, formed Gig.U Our Mission • Accelerate the deployment of world-leading, next generation networks in the United States Our Purpose • Provide an opportunity to lead in the next generation of ultra-high speed network services and applications

4. Advancing world-leading networks: our strategy Our Strategy • Identify and utilize strategic target markets • Develop test-beds for next-gen network deployments and app development

5. University-communities: a strategic market opportunity Advantages of University-communities Demand for Bandwidth = Greatest Positive Impact of Network Access = Greatest Cost of Deployment = Least

6. Gig.U Member Institutions For new test-beds to foster experimentation and innovation, it makes sense to work with communities that have strong traditions of experimentation and innovation Georgia Tech

7. Advancing world-leading networks: our tactical approach Our Strategy • Identify and utilize strategic target markets • Develop test-beds for next-gen network deployments and app development Our Tactical Approach • Use collective action to attract private capital • Aggregate demand • Lower transaction costs • Use competitive forces to reveal trade-offs

8. The Gig.U approach v. the alternative The Alternative Approach • Sole supplier makes a limited product offering • Communities organize to attract supplier • Demand significantly greater than supply • Supplier has more power during negotiations One Supplier  One Solution

9. The Gig.U approach v. the alternative Gig.U Approach: Reverses the Alternative Approach and Expands the Opportunity CDNs OEMs App. Developers Other vendors • Collective action by project members incentivizes private sector • Multiple suppliers organize to meet market demand • New market dynamic: multiple suppliers, multiple consumers with shared goals • More equal negotiating power Many Suppliers  Many Solutions

10. Advancing world-leading networks: our process • Identify and utilize strategic target markets • Develop test-beds for next-gen network deployments and app development Our Strategy • Use collective action to attract private capital • Aggregate demand • Lower transaction costs • Use competitive forces to reveal trade-offs Our Tactical Approach • Organize members and develop RFI • Engage potential partners for creative responses to the RFI • Evaluate responses to pave path forward Our Process

11. Gig.U process timeline • July 27: Public launch • September 15: Release Request for Information • September 26: RFI Meeting • Provide potential respondents an overview and opportunity to ask question about the RFI • Face to face interactions and meetings between Gig.U members and potential respondents • September – October: Follow Up Discussions • Gig.U staff to facilitate additional interactions between members and vendors to encourage creative and useful responses • November: RFI responses due

12. Advancing world-leading networks: our opportunities Our Strategy • Identify and utilize strategic target markets • Develop test-beds for next-gen network deployments and app development • Use collective action to attract private capital • Aggregate demand • Lower transaction costs • Use competitive forces to reveal trade-offs Our Tactical Approach • Organize members and develop RFI • Engage potential partners for creative responses to the RFI • Evaluate responses to pave path forward Our Process Our Opportunities • New approaches to health care, education, job training and other critical social needs • Improved platform for research • Improved platform for small business development

13. The benefits of world-leading networks

14. Economic clusters often require access to abundant input for success In 21st Century economy, we can lower barriers to innovation by increasing bandwidth

15. The United States has not been advancing as fast as others Other countries are moving toward Gigabit connectivity . . . “Home Internet May Get Even Faster in South Korea” By Mark McDonald, February 21, 2011 “Cheap, Ultrafast Broadband? Hong Kong Has It” By Randall Stross, March 5, 2011 South Korea already claims the world’s fastest Internet connections — the fastest globally by far — but that is hardly good enough for the government here. By the end of 2012, South Korea intends to connect every home in the country to the Internet at one gigabit per second. That would be a tenfold increase from the already blazing national standard and more than 200 times as fast as the average household setup in the United States. Hong Kong residents can enjoy astoundingly fast broadband at an astoundingly low price. It became available last year, when a scrappy company called Hong Kong Broadband Network introduced a new option for its fiber-to-the-home service: a speed of 1,000 megabits a second--known as a “gig”-- for less than $26 a month. In the United States, we don’t have anything close to that. But we could. And we should. . . . but Gigabit connectivity is not advancing in the United States

37. Customer Premise Equipment The Case Connection Zone is a research project with the goal of bringing 1 Gigabit internet connectivity to the neighborhoods surrounding Case Western Reserve University. This project is sponsored by Case Western Reserve University.

38. PERIMETER SECURITY & REMOTE MONITORING

39. ENERGY MANAGEMENT Working with Intwine Energy, we have installed whole house electric and gas monitors in several of the beta block homes. Residents get real time feedback from Intwine’s website on whether their efforts to conserve were effective. From their smart phones, residents can control WiFi-connected thermostats. Using this they and reduce electric and gas consumption while still keeping their homes comfortable when they are at home.

40. STEM EDUCATION Connecting CWRU faculty and community experts to the Early College High School and the Architecture and Design High School students extends a great high school program in ways never before possible in high schools. Classes are conducted remotely using one-to-many video connections. The expectation is that exposing students to exciting ideas will entice them to pursue college STEM majors and careers in science, technology, engineering, and math.

41. HOME HEALTHCARE Case Connection Zone is working with clinicians from Case Western Reserve University Student Health Services, University Hospitals of Cleveland, and the Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine to help improve home healthcare with Case Connection Zone’s ultra high-speed 1 Gigabit internet connection. Our goal is to improve quality of healthcare while reducing the cost of healthcare—fewer trips to doctor’s office, emergency room, and hospital via one-to-one hi-def videoconferencing between the doctor and patient.

42. NEW BUSINESSES Collaborative Theater uses the gigabit network to provide a patient specific virtual surgery theater based on that patient's medical imagery (CT and MR) transformed by Surgical Theater into a 3D real-time dynamic and interactive modeled environment. The Collaborative Theater will form a nationally connected-health platform allowing surgeons to collaboratively work on surgery cases through real time, simultaneous interaction on an accurate model of patient's anatomy. Surgeons from two remote sites “step into” the Collaborative Theater and work together on the virtual patient case and will jointly perform a virtual surgery.
