CalREN Updates: 1st Quarter 2013

The first quarter of the 2013 calendar year has been a busy one for all segments. A new Gigabit connection has been put into production for the UC Hastings College of the Law, and CENIC has also completed the second phase of a metropolitan area network for UC San Francisco consisting of three new fiber segments. Two of the three fiber segments are in production status while the third is in the final test & turn-up stage.

For the California State University, CENIC has completed the first of two new 10-Gigabit connections for Humboldt State University and deployed the first of two Gigabit connections to increase fiber path diversity for CSU Dominguez Hills.

California's Community Colleges have received two Gigabit connections as well, for Copper Mountain College and Mt. San Jacinto College, the latter to replace a saturated DS-3 circuit.

California's K-12 System received several new 10-Gigabit connections this quarter as well, including to the Alameda, San Mateo, and Santa Clara County Offices of Education node sites, as well as to the Chaffey Joint Union High School District.

CENIC engineers also completed the installation of needed equipment in aggregation hub sites throughout the Central Valley in preparation for the optical equipment deployment in support of the Central Valley Next Generation Broadband Infrastructure Project. Finally, CENIC engineers worked with NLR to complete a new 10-Gigabit connection to the John Wayne Cancer Institute.
