Governor Rell’s Statement on $93M Stimulus Grant
For Expansion of Broadband Infrastructure
“The state has worked extremely hard to secure this significant and highly competitive grant. We have put together a comprehensive and successful application that will allow us to build on the vast inroads we have already made to bring Internet technology to every corner and classroom of this state.
“Dating back to 1999, one of my chief priorities has been to ensure that our schools, colleges and libraries had access to the best possible education technology. As Lieutenant Governor, I initiated the Connecticut Education Network to connect public schools, colleges and libraries to the Internet. We have invested tens of millions of dollars toward that goal and this major grant award is a capstone of that effort. We will be able to deliver 21st information technology into hundreds more classrooms at low or no cost to local taxpayers. For our children, it means having a world of possibilities literally at their fingertips.
“Our prosperity as a state is greatly enhanced by our capability to quickly and efficiently link commerce, education, public safety and other essential services to the ever-expanding Internet.”
The Broadband Grant will be used for:
Public Safety Network
Under Governor Rell’s leadership, the state has committed millions to link more than 100 police departments, fire departments and other public safety entities to a new public safety data network.
As a result of this stimulus grant, the state can now expand that network to more than 500
additional public safety locations, advancing enhanced 9-1-1- capabilities and allowing for greater sharing of emergency information.
Connecticut
Education Network:
The high speed Connecticut Education Network (CEN) is the nation’s first all-optical network linking K-12 public schools, higher education campuses and library locations throughout Connecticut. It provides low to no cost internet broadband service to hundreds of schools and thousands of students, and was created as a result of a multi-year initiative that began in 1999 by then Lt. Governor M. Jodi Rell to ensure Connecticut schools and libraries had access to the best possible educational technology.
The stimulus grant will enable the state to link 100 additional schools and 15 public libraries to CEN, providing increased network speed and reliability. (SEE ATTACHED LIST)
It will also be used to enable the final two community technical colleges - Quinebaug Valley in Danielson, and Northwestern Connecticut in Winsted - to connect to CEN. In addition, Connecticut Public Television (CPTV), which forged a key partnership with CEN, will also use the grant to expand and enhance existing coverage.
DOIT Network Infrastructure
DOIT provides network access and IT services that support all state government operations, including infrastructure and applications that support mission critical business functions for the Executive, Judicial and Legislative branches.
DOIT will use part of the grant to enhance its network infrastructure to improve network resiliency in the event of a catastrophic event at DOIT’s East Hartford headquarters.
Examples of executive branch agencies that will benefit from this grant include the Department of Emergency Management and Homeland Security, Department of Public Safety, Department of Motor Vehicles, Department of Public Health, Department of Revenue Services and the Department of Social Services.
