2. Summary Albuquerque Metro Area Fiber Project National Lamdba Rail (NLR) NM Gigapop LANL Connection to I2 Rio Grande Corridor Fiber Project Eastern New Mexico Fiber Project Big Picture New Mexico Networking

3. Albuquerque Metro Area Fiber Project Collaborative project between CHECS and New Mexico GSD GSD has ability and to Acquire Dark fiber Ring, but no resources for equipment or lateral extensions Agreed major access nodes around the city, each was selected because it provided needed assets

4. Albuquerque Metro Area Fiber Project

5. Why we selected these sites One is a Major GSD Communication and aggregation site One is a Major GSD Communication and aggregation site One is where Rio Grande Fiber Project and Metro Ring intersect as well as provide access to the National Lambda Rail One is where Rio Grande Fiber Project and Metro Ring intersect as well as provide access to the National Lambda Rail One is a site with raised flooring and access to many other telecommunication vendors One is a site with raised flooring and access to many other telecommunication vendors

10. LANL Connection to I2 Collaborative project between LANL and CHECS LANL needed high speed connection to Internet2 (Abilene) at least 1 Gbps Developed MOU Upgraded the Internet2 connection to an oc48 (2.5 Gbps) Establishing direct peering with ESNET

11. LANL Connection to I2 1 Gbps is dedicated to LANL The remainder dedicated to CHECS-Net The remainder dedicated to CHECS-Net About ten fold increase in Bandwidth About ten fold increase in Bandwidth Bottom Line Additional Bandwidth without additional costs for the CHECS-Net About ten fold increase bandwidth About ten fold increase bandwidth LANL picking up increased costs LANL picking up increased costs An example of collaborative networking An example of collaborative networking

12. Rio Grande Corridor Fiber Project CHECS Partnership with GSD Leasing 2 fiber pair up and down the Rio Grande Corridor Leasing 2 fiber pair up and down the Rio Grande Corridor Will be a shared infrastructure with different logical networks Will be a shared infrastructure with different logical networks Will use DWDM equipment to maximize bandwidth availability Will use DWDM equipment to maximize bandwidth availability The goal is to begin provisioning the network by January 06 The goal is to begin provisioning the network by January 06

13. Eastern New Mexico Fiber Project

14. Eastern Part of the State is Bandwidth Poor Expensive to connect to the rest of the state Expensive to connect to the rest of the state Submitting a proposal to HED To Acquire provision Dark fiber acquired by GSD To Acquire provision Dark fiber acquired by GSD Ties into the Rio Grande Corridor fiber Project Ties into the Rio Grande Corridor fiber Project Need to partner to fund Need to partner to fund From Santa Fe to Raton From Santa Fe to Raton From El Paso to Carlsbad From El Paso to Carlsbad Digital Microwave from Carlsbad to Hobbs Digital Microwave from Carlsbad to Hobbs

15. Big Picture New Mexico Networking

16. Following Statewide and Institutional Initiatives Leveraging all available resources for a common good Partnering and building cooperative networks so our dollars can do more Reaching more people throughout NM Need to facilitate teaching, research, distance outreach, and government and educational services These are just first steps
