network system, including community NOC/data centers and POP
(Point of Presence) locations to provide the connectivity for
remote users in your new network. For more information on Ptera,

| Our
High Speed Networks |
|
|
Modern
networks by Tylite have been implemented successfully in many areas.
We're currently working on networks for school districts and cities
around the Western US.
|
|
|
|
The
company has tremendous experience in selecting the right network,
designing the network, managing build-out, securing the best service
providers and managing the network.

Here's
an overview of the recent major network projects Tylite staff have
implemented:
|
| |
| Spokane
Educational Metropolitan Area Network (EMAN) |
| |
In
early 1998, a 13 agency consortium was formed to pursue purchasing
high-speed network connectivity between and within all the education
institutions, K-20, in the Spokane area. While the initial idea
assumed ATM, the team quickly realized that the price/performance
of a Gigabit Ethernet Metropolitan Area Networks was very attractive.
The Spokane school district, SD81, 2nd largest in the state,
had bond money available and took the lead. Working with the
local power company, Avista, single-mode fiber was brought to
all 52 schools and district offices in redundant loops. The
magnitude of the wiring done in the schools was staggering:
300,000 feet fiber and 942,000 feet of CAT5 with 18,840 data
drops Packet Engines, now Alcatel, is the prime contractor on
the network and voice-over-network system. Tylite handled the
design aspect of the network. NEC PBX's were installed in each
school and in the central site. All phone calls to the PSTN
pass through the central PBX. Voice over IP was originally used
to good effect. Better performance is being obtained with a
TDM over IP approach because of the District's T1 trunk replacement
architecture. |

The
results of the SD81Gigabit Network are very exciting. The school
student database backups have dropped from 2.5 hours per school
per night to 2 minutes per school. They have over 32,000 students
in over 50 locations all with very high-speed access to the
Internet. They have gone from an average of 5 phones and 5 Centrex
phone lines per school to an average of over 70 phones per school
with phones in every classroom and a T1 (or 23 phone lines)
and a PBX per school. Full E911 support increases school safety.
Telephone communication costs have remained flat with almost
five times as many phone lines per school. This network also
supports the use of video in one-way broadcast and video conferencing. |
| Riverbluff
Ranch |
| |
The
Riverbluff Ranch project is unique in that it is designed to
be the first residential project in the world without any copper
infrastructure for telephone, data, or video. The first phase
of the project consists of sixty-five lots of two to five acres,
surrounded by woodlands in which the lot owners will have a
community interest. The residences are in the half million and
up price range, and are targeted at the emerging telecommuter
market. Data services will be provided from
a central Network Operations Center designed by Tylite, which
will be tied to the outside world through a combination of fiber
optic cable, broadband wireless, and traditional Telco services.
All homes are designed to have at least 100-megabit access,
and the infrastructure is designed to support multi-gigabit
when it is needed. |
| STCU |
| |
The
Spokane Teacher's Credit Union (STCU) is a forward-looking company,
which moved its data and soon its voice over to the Gigabit
Ethernet network. They have four branches connected via fiber
to their headquarters. They use Lucent Definity PBX's. Voice
over IP did not work out well because of various issues such
as problems with voice mail. Tylite has designed a TDM over
IP solution that will handle all their network communications
issues. |
| CCSD |
| |
Las
Vegas' Clark County School District (CCSD) is the 6th largest
school district in the US with over 250 schools. They are currently
in the midst of designing a new network to provide enhanced
services, faster Internet access, video capabilities, IP telephony
capabilities, and more. CCSD wanted to be flexible in a district
where an average of 10 new school buildings are added each year.
Tylite has been focused on designing the video functions of
the network, including video on demand features, security video,
one-way broadcasts, video conferencing, distance learning functions,
and other performance-oriented functions. |
