Telecommunications

 

  Economic development is driven by access to markets, transportation, labor, and communications. The three elements of bandwidth access are capacity, choice, and redundancy. Jacksonville's railroads, which carry the bandwidth, are the key to telecommunications because the freight of the future is data. The old adage of location, location, location is something Jacksonville is proud of when it comes to our telecommunications network.

  Most major business districts and employment centers in the Jacksonville metro area are served by a fiber optic based diversely routed network infrastructure. This infrastructure consists of SONET fiber optic ring technology connecting customer locations with serving central offices. Additionally, SONET ring architecture is used to connect central offices and multiple interexchange carrier POP locations. Digital central office switches are used in the major business districts and employment center areas in Jacksonville including the two LATA tandem locations. Sufficient fiber infrastructure flexibility is available to provide customized fiber serving network arrangements to meet any customer's specific voice, data, or video needs. Jacksonville's ring infrastructure consists of diversely routed main and protects fiber paths using true route diversity, not a collapsed ring topology.
