Discussion Objectives
Background on the BTOP Program Current Status of Project What it Means to You Things You Should be considering as an
LEA with increasing traffic demands
3
BTOP Background
MCNC received 2 Rounds of Funding· Part of the 2008 American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act $142M total, Includes $40M private match
($136M cash)· $7.7M From MCNC Endowment · $24M Golden LEAF· $0 State or County Investment · $137M infusion with private sector
companies
4
BTOP Background
82 mostly rural Counties· Over 1700 miles of new middle mile fiber· An additional 800 miles of leases
Funded direct fiber and CPE to 52 LEA’s
5
Current Status
Round 1· Project as Initially Funded complete· 451 Miles of new fiber construction in
southwestern and southeastern NC· NTIA funded 100G core backbone complete
with savings from round 1 project; this work benefits every NCREN constituent
6
Current Status
Round 2· 96% complete on conduit construction; less
than 60 miles of conduit remain to be constructed
· First Corridor from Charlotte-Wilmington Active
· Deployment Activities for Equipment Will Continue at least through May
· Migrations will be ongoing through July, but most will complete by first of summer

What it Means to You
All LEA’s on the BTOP Footprint sit on a minimum 10G span
Redundant connections to core IP infrastructure either via Winston-Salem, Charlotte, or Research Triangle Park
1Gbps Handoff to LEA District Connection Incremental Upgrades Quicker than with
traditional telco

LEA Considerations
Bandwidth Growth on NCREN will require changes at the edge; greater than 1G capability at the LAN edge (firewall, content filtering)
Growth at the edge will necessitate internal network upgrades for WAN connectivity and it’s bandwidth requirements
How can your teachers take advantage of the greater bandwidth to impact teaching and learning
Leverage our CNE team to help with these discussions as warranted

What if Direct Fiber Wasn’t Built to My District
DPI will continue to monitor your bandwidth growth and initiate upgrades as appropriate
Upgrades may take a bit longer, but will eventually be performed
We’ll continue to look at opportunities to expand our fiber footprint
