16. Backbone Upgrades & Changes All old optical equipment has been taken out of service (Cisco 15808s were EOL/EOS)
Replaced with 15454’s
Also allowed for redesign of the Central Valley and Bay Area optical infrastructure to more efficiently deploy express waves
Working on establishing second hub site in San Diego LATA for circuit aggregation

17. CVS - CalREN Video Services K-20 Videoconferencing Timing was right to combine CVS with K12 Video
More cost effective and efficient to move towards a single K-20 service
Finalizing contract details with K12
Timeline is to complete transition this fall or late this calendar year 17

24. 24 Diversity Solutions CTF discounts allowed us to begin providing redundant connections
75% of sites currently have a redundant connection
10% of sites have dual routers
Starting to look at topology changes for efficiency and cost savings
25. 25 CBOL Project(Community Based Online Learning) Established as part of SB1437
Requires CVC to provide CBO’s with high speed connectivity to enable partnerships with CCC to use online teaching and learning materials to improve the quality of life for low income communities in California
Results of an RFP issued by the CVC is to have seven CBOs connected to CCC or other CalREN sites, if necessary
Completed site assessment and waiting on circuit quotes
Hoping to start enabling these connections before June 30
26. H.R. 4619“E-rate 2.0 Act of 2010” Amend the Communications Act of 1934 to bridge the digital divide and would direct the FCC to (1) providing vouchers for broadband service to low-income students, (2) to establish a competitive grant program to extend funding for broadband equipment and services for community colleges and head start programs and (3) to enable certain low-income E-rate applicants to apply for significantly discounted services and technologies for E-books and for other purposes.
Introduced by Rep Edward Markey (D-MA) on Feb 9, 2010 and co-sponsored by Reps Lois Capps (D-CA) and Doris Matsui (D-CA)
Status: Referred to House Committee on Energy & Commerce

29. National Broadband Goals At least 100 million U.S. homes should have affordable access to actual download speeds of at least 100 Mbps per second and actual upload speeds of at least 50 Mbps per second.
The United States should lead the world in mobile innovation, with the fastest and most extensive wireless networks of any nation.
Every American should have affordable access to robust broadband service, and the means and skills to subscribe if they so choose.
Every community should have affordable access to at least 1 Gbps broadband service to anchor institutions such as schools, hospitals and government buildings.
To ensure the safety of Americans, every first responder should have access to a nationwide public safety wireless network.
To ensure that America leads in the clean energy economy, every American should be able to use broadband to track and manage their real-time energy consumption. 29
30. Looking Ahead… Continue to be a leader in pursuing settlement-free and other peering opportunities as a cost-reduction method
With coming wave of cloud computing and cloud services, CENIC is looking to broker various relationships (e.g. Amazon)
Looking to be a provider of (owned or leased) cloud infrastructure services. Reviewing a data center at McGill University in Quebec to take advantage of the temperature to provide chilled water for cooling.
Today’s focus on carbon footprint AND energy costs, combined with owned fiber networks such as ours, will tend to force server/storage to locations where power is cheap and/or clean.
If/when CCCs become E-rate eligible, we’ll probably look at some cost-saving topology changes in the WAN. 30
31. 31 Public Education Stats CCC: Graduate ~300,000 engineering and industrial arts students each year, 200,000 IT students; 60% of CSU grads and 30% of UC grads start at a CCC
UC & Tier 1 Research Institutions: Adequate bandwidth is critical to California’s leading industries (patents, research, start-ups)
CSU: Graduates 45% of California’s computer and electronics engineers
K12: Supplies incoming students to ALL the above
