  3. The State of Arizona! • What covers half the northern border? • What accounts for 2/3 of the topography? • Where do interstate highways: • Originate? (States…) • Converge? (Cities…) • Where do most people live? • What is the average temperature in SW corner for almost half the year? • Who is the ILEC & where are the LATAs?

  4. American Indian Nations - The 3rd largest population (U.S.A.)

  5. Phoenix: One of 7 U.S. “City-States”

  6. The Telephony Situation • ILEC is US West • LATAs • Independent • Phoenix • Los Angeles • Tucson • US West has most rural COs up for sale

  7. State of Arizona “cost reduction” proposals ’87 Dept. of Public Safety - fails ’89 Dept. of Admin. - fails ’96 DOA recruits Educ. into Project Eagle – fails ’99 DOA’s ATS - ??? Phoenix To Tucson ATM backbone established V/V/D traffic, US West cell relay and frame relay to county seats, & dialup all planned Education ’84 NSF “WESTnet” ’87 56Kb to U. of Utah ’89, ’91 T1(s), T3 backbone ’90 Az Educ. Telecom Coop. - failed NAU as “outreacher”, T3 Phx.-Flag.-Tuc. never used ’93 WESTnet replaced by commercial Internet ’97 “Az. Learning Sys.” - failed Get 1 classroom video codec All 10 Comm. College Dist. ’99 DoEd admin. Network - ??? Arizona Network History

  8. Attitudes & Lessons • Health and Human Services – “Our data is too private to go on a shared network.” • Public Safety – “Crisis control is mandatory – we are in charge!” • Administration – “Telcos should charge one fee for rural and metro! Hmmm, no successful bids…” • Transportation – “Require in-kind compensation for rights-of-way for an AZ network? Hmmm…” • A Cost Reduction Mission Will Never Establish a New Infrastructure!

  9. What Has Worked? • Quietly connecting up CC/K-12 districts, government IT shops, libraries, and community centers via NSF Connections and DoC TIIAP grants or E-Rate services • Extension offices and preceptor support in every county (land grant mission!)

  10. The A.S.P.I.N. Network – an NSF ConnectionUniv. -> CC -> rural K-12 (& government)…

  11. Connected to external networks Campuswide “inter-building” network Workgroup or Departmental Computer Connections Inter-networked to NSI (3Mb), the commercial Internet (45Mb), and the Internet2 (155Mb) Remote sites & State support “UAnet backbone network” (1 Gigabit/sec) Building infrastructure upgrades (redundant to UAnet, switched) Ethernet “walljacks” or ports (10 or 100Mb) The UofA’s Data Networks

  12. External 3 National networks 1 local peering point Private Lines/Frame 5 Community Or 4 Yr. Colleges 11 K-12 Districts 12 Government sites (3 Municipal, 1 County, 3 State, 5 Federal) CoAg/CoMed extensions in each county 3 branch campuses Internal >200 buildings connected via 3 hub sites to a GigE backbone 5 DNS (>800 subnets) and 1 DHCP server 35,000 IP devices Departmental 13000 ports shared 10BaseT 13000 ports switched 10/100BaseT The UofA’s Data Customers

  13. The Arizona Regional TeleMedicine Network

  14. The Arizona Telecommunications System • Arizona’s Department of Administration http://www.ats.state.az.us/ • 1999 mandate - provide common Voice/Video/Data transport • Learned from failure of Project Eagle RFP • Build infrastructure where control exists today, lease services elsewhere • Costs: • Development & Implementation: $ 6.4M • Operations (5yr): $79M • Estimated Savings: $98M
