Network Operation Center (NOC) almost completed

Upgraded NOC Room

The air conditioner is in, and tomorrow they are going to fire it up.  The old multi-mode fiber lines to the village schools are being upgraded to  single-mode fiber.  Today these new lines were terminated in the NOC and will be run out to the village schools by week’s end.  This picture shows the new racks being installed.  The electrical power is being upgraded today and we should be in business tomorrow.  On Friday we will begin our cut-over to the new network.  We have to get the NOC operational in order to have JP operating by the start of the school year.  The other schools will be brought up later this year when their capital project work is completed.  This is critical infrastructure work and is the keystone to enhancing the educational experience for our students using technology.
