Dayton Broadband Mini PlanA Low Risk Phase One

September 2009

IT Vision Consulting


Purpose of this Presentation

• To recommend a Vision, Infrastructure and Strategic Target for a Phase One Broadband Infrastructure for Dayton.

• To provide a summary location and cost plan for initial implementation that takes strong advantage of existing unused assets.


Today’s Message

We have the assets to jumpstart a Broadband Enterprise Zone

• The result can be an information transportation system that is a critical element in creating a prosperous, highly livable municipality


Suggested Vision

• Integrate private and unused, repurposed public telecommunications fiber to create a broadband network for economic development. The reduced cost of operation that results from using repurposed public telecommunications fiber will be passed on to consumers as lower priced broadband services.

• This network will be managed under a public/private partnership to establish a Broadband Enterprise Zone (BE Zone) for use by commercial business, non-profit enterprises, educational institutions and government agencies.


Potential Benefits

• The Broadband Enterprise Zone will attract businesses– Reduced cost, faster time to market higher quality product– Extremely low latency, massive bandwidth transmission– High reliability– E-cottage integration– Reduced carbon footprint– Redundant Internet interface via multiple ISPs and carriers– Highly survivable emergency response network– Advanced Educational network– R&D network with evolution to GRID capability – Shared applications, data center services and storage– E-Government– Integrated e-environment for cultural enhancement

• BE Zone incubator


Dayton’s Broadband Highways (Partial)

Dayton Metro Internet Exchange Switch (D-MIX)

Dayton Traffic Signals Fibers

Dayton has extensive, virtually unused, government-owned telecommunications assets in prime locations!


Hospital OpportunityFiber Runs Past Miami Valley, Grandview

and Good Sam Hospitals• Telemedicine• Remote Imaging• Today, there are six eHealth activities that

specifically benefit from broadband: See http://www.usiia.org/pubs/eHealth.pdf– Electronic Medical Records– Clinical eHealth. – Evidence Based Medicine. – Consumer medical and health information. – Medical education. – Virtual healthcare teams.


Homeland Defense & SecurityFiber Runs Past Major Fire and Police Stations, County HQ and into City Hall

• Survivable Communications

• Voice, Data and Video between Fire, Police and Regional Dispatch

• Flexible Command Post

• Integration with Hospital Network


EducationFiber Runs Past UD, Sinclair and Key K-

12 Offices

• Remote classroom

• Share the expert

• Reduce travel time

• Integrate with Emergency Response and Hospital Networks

• Can be extended to WSU via D-MIX switch


Research and Development Network

• DaytaOhio at WSU via extension through D-MIX switch

• National Composite Center via existing fiber connection to Kettering

• Integrate with Hospital and Educational Networks


Suggested Actions

• The following Actions must be taken to reach the Vision and achieve these Benefits

• Establish a private/public business model– Private/public board– Operated and managed by private sector

telecommunications professionals

• Integrate BE Zone with Ohio broadband initiative

• Integrate the marketing and sales effort with economic development and the business chamber


Private/Public Partnership for a Dayton Broadband

Enterprise Zone• Repurposed Government-owned fiber• Oversight by a private/public board• Operated by Telecommunications Experts• Available to all businesses, non-profits, educational

institutions, emergency services, etc• Interconnection promotes local cottage industries• Fully integrated with the State of Ohio Broadband Plan• Proven catalyst for economic development• Definitely not a competitor with telecommunications

companies • Sets the stage for “The Grid”

Economic Benefit of Broadband

Economic Indicator Results

Employment (Jobs) Added about 1 to 1.4% to growth rate from 1998 to 1002

Business Establishments Added about .5 to 1.2% to growth rate from 1998 to 2002

Housing Rents More than 6% higher in 2000 where broadband available by 1999

Industry Mix Added about .3 to .6% in IT intensive sectors from 1998 to 2002. Reduced share of small (<10 employees) establishment by 1.3 to 1.6% from 1998 to 2002

“There may be no single thing more important in a community’s efforts to achieve economic well-being than to grasp the role that telecommunications plays in creating meaningful jobs, enhanced education and world class healthcare. Now, more than ever, the direct link is evident between advanced communications and productivity and economic development.”

Within Ohio

• The State of Ohio is installing a private/public statewide broadband network for economic development purposes. We will eventually be expected to participate.

• The State is encouraging multi-county regional connections.

• Such systems have been proven successful elsewhere.

• We are in an excellent position to respond and potentially receive funding.


State of Ohio Example

• “When fully implemented, the Broadband Ohio initiative will ensure that all Ohio’s citizens, businesses, governments, educational institutions, non-profits and healthcare facilities have viable access to superior broadband services. Full participation in the digital society is crucial so that Ohio emerges as a global leader in: economic development, education, healthcare, innovation, world-class research and efficient delivery of state services; thereby powering Ohio’s economy and connecting to world markets.”


Ohio Broadband Network Plan

• State public/private partnership with ConnectOhio

• State broadband network will connect to regional networks– OneCommunity in Cleveland area– Southeast Ohio– Central Ohio

• ConnectOhio is defining our region• Efforts in our area

– Springfield fiber ring– Butler County Ring


Dublin, Ohio’s IT Infrastructure for Economic

DevelopmentDubLink, Dublin’s existing system of underground

fiber-optic conduits, provides high-speed voice, data and video communications to businesses. The network saves corporations time and money by providing an existing “telecommunications pathway” within the City’s business district on which businesses can lease space rather than construct their own lines.

See: http://www.dublin.oh.us/econdev/dublink.phpAirtouch located a headquarters in Dublin citing Dublink as a primary motivator.

Nationwide located 8,000 job in Dublin at various campuses citing Dublink as a primary motivator.


Columbus, Ohio Private Investment for Economic

Development• Fibertech's diverse route, "open-access"

networks allow for numerous communications and Internet companies to offer facilities-based services. Its Columbus network connects strategic routes, passing key corporate centers, major switching hubs and other high data aggregation points throughout the city.

Columbus FiberNet Route

From: Columbus FiberNet Brochure

“Columbus FiberNet is an economic development tool to bring more high tech companies to Columbus. With a high tech population and high tech jobs, more technology companies will relocate to Columbus to expand their operations. And companies can expand and grow with the transparency of real estate, connecting one building to another next door, across campus, or on the other side of town.”


Cleveland, Ohio’s IT Infrastructure for Economic

Development• “A successful fiber network deployment by OneCommunity has been

leveraged by government and nonprofits to jumpstart new investment, improve health care delivery, bring the best in culture and education to urban schools, and engage tens of thousands of area leaders in collaboration over regional economic development”

• Northeast Ohio is one of three U.S. regions to be recognized as 2008 Top 7 Intelligent Communities by the New York-based think tank Intelligent Community Forum (ICF). Northeast Ohio is now a finalist in the 2008 Intelligent Community of the Year competition. The winner will be announced May 16 in New York City.

• The other six finalists represent a global footprint. They are Dundee, Scotland, United Kingdom; Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada; Gangnam District, Seoul, South Korea; Tallinn, Estonia; Westchester County, New York, USA; and Winston-Salem, North Carolina, USA.
