Connecting The California Community Colleges
Partnering with the Corporation for Educational Network Initiatives in California (CENIC) to use the California Research and Education Network (CalREN) high-bandwidth, high-capacity fiber network has resulted in millions of dollars in savings for the California Community Colleges.
To address bandwidth demand for the near future, the CCC Technology Center is working with CENIC to upgrade the majority of circuits connecting the colleges to CalREN to 10Gbps. In addition, approved college centers will receive 1Gbps primary and 1Gbps secondary circuits. These upgrades are expected to be in place by fiscal year 2025-26, and provide sufficient capacity for at least five to 10 years.
Ongoing projects starting 2024-25 through 2025-26 include the replacement of end-of-life routers and reviewing college, district, and center sites to improve the diversity of secondary circuits to ensure minimal impacts to student learning and daily college business.
