How soon will my state agency switch over to the NextGen network?
Broadband Ohio will be built in a series of phases as agency needs arise and providers continue to develop and expand their services. Initially, Broadband Ohio will support Metro Ethernet services that many service providers are continuing to develop and expand in their respective “last mile” footprints across the state. State agencies began utilizing the Broadband Ohio network in specific geographic locations in the fourth quarter of 2007. As wireless and other broadband technologies continue to expand, Broadband Ohio will provide the “on ramp” to enable these technologies and services to take advantage of the OSCnet core infrastructure.
