Infastructure

Today I will continue to determine on campus infastucture. I will be joined by a previous associate that used to maintain Fiber, phones, cat5, and closed circuit and CATV on the campus. Since this was formerly a county jail in the "Jail to Jewel" model, there is exciting pre-existing infastructure.

Yes,Yes! We just did a walk through and verified the infastructure at large. I know where the MDF is now.

The phone MPOE has several cat5's that go to fiber optic access largely to the rest of the campus. The fiber terminates in IDF closets adjacent to punch down blocks to critical areas and the future computer lab location which is air conditioned. It is well-powered with its own PC location breakers and punched down to a 48 port cat5e patch panel. Cake. This goes to the MPOE where there is (3) T1 end points. This is exciting!

At the highest point there is a empty telephone that has power to it and a CATV cable to the MDF... Wi Fi anyone?? :-)))

Are those three T1's hot? That is some serious bandwidth. How our you expecting to use it?

I'm excited to hear that you are thinking about WiFi. You should talk with fellow VISTAs Ross, Josh, Matthew, and Cecille.

Hey Jim,
glad to see your excitement about the upcoming work. I reviewed your workplan and it looks like you've got an exciting year ahead of you. What are MPOEs?

Ben,

T1's are not hot yet. I just got pricing for a point to point (existing) and a T1 Frame relay to the Internet (AT&T). We want to go back and see if we are leveraging the Teleconnect funds to the max. I'll post when we go live.
