Regional Ethernet
Regional Ethernet
Regional Ethernet contracts provide Ethernet services statewide through commercial vendors. Ethernet services are available as point-to-point and point-to-multipoint connections. Various speeds (from 2Mbps to 10Gbps) and handoff facilities may be available, dependent upon locations and vendors. In addition, certain features such as QoS are available as well. OTS will work closely with agencies to provide technical assistance as needed, prior to ordering the services.

Agencies interested in acquiring OTS Ethernet Service should first open an OTS Service Desk ticket via phone/email/web.
Non-consolidated agencies should then submit an OTS Ethernet Quote Request. *An OTS engineer will generate this quote request on behalf of a consolidated agency in the course of troubleshooting or completing a project.
OTS will determine which vendors are able to provide the service in the requested area(s) and obtain and validate rate quotes from the available vendors.
OTS will provide the quote to the requesting agency, and the agency may choose from the responding vendors' options based on their specific technical needs, timeline and/or price. *OTS will recommend the most ideal technical options to consolidated agencies when returning quotes.
The requestor should reply to the quote email indicating which service the agency would like to order. OTS will then request an electronic signature from the agency's Telecommunications Coordinator before proceeding.
The requestor may track the request through their OTS Service Desk ticket.
Ethernet rates are determined by the specific service type, speed and the distance of the service location from the service provider's ethernet node. Additional charges can be incurred where additional bands and mileage are concerned. Obtain specific service pricing quotes using the process described under the How to Order section.
