High Speed WAN Success Stories
City of Tyler Municipal Network
BNI partnered with TCA (now part of Cox Communications) to provide 100
Mbps Ethernet data capability to each of 18 sites for the city of Tyler,
Texas. Included on the network are the locations for the city's police
and fire facilities, as well as the county library, utility and court
facilities. The network design is unique in that it provides redundancy
through route diversity and automatic switching between paths.
"The most exciting thing about this technology
from our standpoint is it didn't cost us that much money. At the same
time, it's going to save us a tremendous amount of money," stated
John D'Anna, Chief Information Officer, City of Tyler.

speed WAN. BNI's role in this project included proposal response, design
of the network, complete BOM, installation of the network and on-going

for growth in the future."
