Ohio Launches State’s New Ultra-Fast Broadband Network

"This is an ability — think about 4G — this is like 4G times a billion."

On Dec. 11 via live webcast, Ohio Gov. John Kasich unveiled the state’s 100 Gbps broadband network — a tenfold increase in speed and capacity — operated by the Ohio Academic Resources Network (OARnet).

Kasich announced the upgrade in his State of the State address http://www.govtech.com/wireless/Ohio-Broadband-Network-Speeds-to-Hit-100-Gbps.html in February, and Ohio has since invested approximately $13 million to take Ohio’s broadband infrastructure from 10 Gbps capacity to 100 Gbps — an expansion that uses 1,850-plus miles of OARnet’s fiber-optic network.
