The Utah Education Network within the Utah Education and Government Sector
UEN is an educational technology partnership of public and higher education, providing educational technology services statewide.
Established by statute, and reports directly to the Legislature and the Governor.
As of the 2012 Legislative Session UEN is now governed by an 11 member Governing Board whose members represent higher education, public education, libraries and state government.
UEN’s Core Responsibility
The network is a public-private partnership between UEN and Utah telecommunications providers.
UEN does not own the network. We lease circuits from telecommunications companies using multi-year contracts.
To provide a statewide wide area network with robust and reliable connectivity to the Internet for every public school and college, and most public libraries.
County-level Example of the UEN Network
What is video conferencing? Two-way or multi-way interactive video and audio
conferencing. Standards based solutions vs. proprietary solutions Standards based – H.323, SIP, MPEG 264.
Interoperability – vendor agnostic. (for the most part) Cisco (formerly Tandberg), Polycom, LifeSize, RADVision
High quality video, content, encryption. Point-to-point and multi-way (bridged) Often used in business, government, and education
Proprietary – Skype, Google+ video, FaceTime. Less expensive or free. Works only with other users of
the same application. Limited features. Bridging is available with some applications
Classes & Events supported on UEN’s IVC Network
Higher Education to Public Education Concurrent Enrollment
Public Education Inter-District and Intra-District events provide
access to quality teachers and classes Higher Education
Classes offered statewide by the larger universities and regionally by state colleges

What we know…
• Utah is the national leader in home broadband adoption, with 80% of households in Utah using broadband at home.
• We have the youngest population in the United States.
• Schools are connected, most with a gigabit-enabled speeds.
• Residential broadband is widely available, even in rural areas.
What we don’t know…
• How are we leveraging these facts to our advantage for economic development?
• Are businesses using broadband or broadband-enabled technologies at the same rate residential users?
• Do all cities, towns and counties in Utah have a website, or some mechanism for their constituents to communicate or connect with them online?
Utah Cities and Towns • According to the Utah Association of Counties,
all counties currently have a website– http://www.uacnet.org/about-counties/links-to-co
s-and-others/• Gathered data from the Utah League of Cities
and Towns (ULCT) on whether or not a city had a website…with unexpected results– http://www.ulct.org/ulct/about/linkstocities.html

Utah Cities and Towns Without a Website
Out of 245 Utah cities or towns, only 166 had a website
In the National Broadband Plan, the FCC states:
“Americans can check their bank accounts, communicate with customer service
representatives and do their shopping anytime, anywhere by using applications enabled by
broadband. Americans now expect this level of service from their government and are often
disappointed with what they find.”
Utah Businesses• Results based on a 2011 survey conducted by the Business Expansion and
Retention (BEAR) initiative – BEAR, also known as “economic gardening”, focuses on taking direct action to help
