Ocala光纤网络 in Florida evolved from the City of Ocala electric utility two decades ago. Its purpose: deliver a range of broadband Internet services based on the build-out of a 100 percent fiber network for city agencies as well as citizens. The network was modernized with Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise switches to deliver higher speeds with better network management and performance. And through a global health crisis, OFN proved its value to its customers.
Challenges
In 1995, Ocala光纤网络 (OFN) expanded its electric utility fiber optic network to become an Internet Service Provider (ISP). With its 100 percent fiber-based backbone, from last mile to the home, OFN set out to provide Internet service to local businesses, 学校, 房屋, 医院, 消防局和图书馆. 25年后, OFN realized the need for a fresh network design to move away from loop back issues, 确保更好的管理, and deliver improved speeds and performance with guaranteed throughputs.
