What is the fiber backbone currently being utilized for?
The City of Dover utilizes a portion of the existing ring for its SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) system, which is used to monitor and control elements of the city’s electric power generation and distribution system. The City of Dover also uses the fiber backbone for interconnecting its city departments and operational facilities on an integrated data and voice network. The Dover City Schools have been allocated a portion of the fiber loop for use in connecting their facilities and school buildings. The resources and capabilities that our existing fiber-optic backbone has extended to the Dover City School System and the City of Dover itself are highly valued.
