Fiber to Brooklyn down

Update:
The likely cause has been identified (homeowner digging without calling Digger's Hotline), but that will not be confirmed until more testing occurs. We are working with vendors to find somebody to diagnose and fix the problem as soon as possible, but it will likely not happen until sometime Monday. In the meantime, we are going to bring portable Internet access devices and phones to Brooklyn to provide the office staff with communication capabilities.

Phones and computer networks in Brooklyn are down due to a fiber optic cable disruption. We are investigating the problem.

new fiber installation

A new fiber-optic connection directly from OSD to WiscNet is coming in the next few days. While we're routing the fiber, we are going to re-route the Charter cable coming into the DSO, so there will be a brief interruption in the CATV service to the district. More details when we get a schedule.

Trying to get fiber connection to OASIS

Our new alternative high school OASIS, will be physically located in the new ice rink south of OHS. We need to provide phone/data/CATV to our staff and students there. We have two main options: install new fiber or somehow do a mid-run splice on the fiber that is already underground right on the property. I will be meeting with several folks next week to discuss the most cost-effective options which won't hamstring us in the future.
