  1. EPSCoR/NSHE C2 Grant Wrap UP Las Vegas Metro Fiber Ring Upgrade Project Presented By: Ed Anderson and Stanton Gurr

  2. Purpose of Project To upgrade the existing southern metro fiber ring capacity from 1 Gbps to 10 Gbps in order to enhance backbone network capability for : • K-12 and Higher Education Distance Learning • Research • Medical School Training and clinical programs • Cooperative Extension programs • State and Local Gov’t./Public Safety Applications

  3. C2 Project Implementation • Implementation Plan • Unanticipated Challenges • Lessons Learned • Current Overall Status • Optical upgrades complete • Router upgrades due to be complete by 8/15/12

  4. Benefits Gained • Increased network capacity to support EHR mandate and rural health clinical programs • Full 10 Gbps backbone capacity to the commodity and I2 Internet to support the NSHE research community • Added support for K-12 and Higher ed. Internet access and Internet based distance learning capabilities • Provides needed backbone capacity to support growing high bandwidth video application and collaboration requirements

  5. How C2 Grant Fits Into An Overall Strategy • I2/Commodity Internet Upgrades • North/South Tie Line Upgrades – leased and dark fiber • North/South Metro Ring Upgrades • Joint Infrastructure Collaborative Network Development Agreement with NDOT/ITS • I-80, I-580, US 395, Reno Metro Fiber – TMCC/DRI, LV Fiber/Conduit Availability • Digital 395 • Fiber in Carson City Area • Nevada Hospital Association • Rural last mile broadband enhancements in support of EHR mandates

  6. Unfinished Business/Future Opportunities • Still only 1 PoP input to southern ring • Institution LANS need to be upgraded to take advantage of 10 Gbps backbone • NDOT Fiber/conduit availability in LV • NDOT/ITS phase 2 and beyond • Create a next generation video plan to integrate both traditional video room and mobile video functionality

  7. Conclusions • NSHE would like to thank EPSCoR for its support to date • The current C2 project will be completed on time and on budget • Many other collaborative opportunities still exist and NSHE will be looking to EPSCoR to again provide valuable support for some of these collaborative initiatives
