Questions Received with Applicant Answers   ( Ask Questions? )




What is the make and model of the networking equipment you have at your Hub Site and at your schools/locations? Do you currently have conduit entrances to your facilities that we can use to bring fiber into that facility? Our solutions offer free upgrades up to 100G with no additional cost or contract extensions. Will you accept proposals for speeds above what you requested in the 470/RFP? USAC and the state of Colorado are making making special funds available to pay for fiber construction, which can lower the District's recurring costs. Are you interested in seeing options taking advantage of this program? With speeds up to 100Gbps and free upgrades on a 100% Private Fiber Network, many Districts choose to extend their contract term to achieve lower costs. What additional term lengths would your District consider? (e.g. 10 year, 20 year)

Answer:
 We have Meraki MX 400s at Middle Park High School and Granby Elementary and an MX 100 at Fraser.

 

We have conduit into Middle Park High School, but the other two do not yet. I am planning to install conduit at Fraser this Sping, but I have no such plans yet for Granby.

 

I won't accept speeds above 1Gb as I don't have the demand nor the capacity for throughput at all locations at this time and USAC will not fund contracts that provide speeds outside of the scope listed on the 470.
