Can Service be Added
Yes...in the near future |
Because the infrastructure is built on a fiber optic network, services such as TV and HDTV, Data-Fax, and potentially many more digital communications services could eventually be added.
Currently, the City of Loma Linda is delivering high-speed, symetrical Internet connectivity (up to 15 Mbps, upload and download) over this fiber pipeline, but the future possibilities are virtually endless.

Technology |
Several of the technological aspects of the Loma Linda Connected Community Program help to make it one of the most unique programs in the Nation.
|
Fiber Optics |
LLCCP is the only municipal program in the Nation, wholly run by a city rather than a PUD or Telco vendor, that utilizes fiber optics to provide its services. Utilizing this network the City plans to provide not only high-speed internet access, but voice and video services as well.
|
Fiber's Advantages |
Fiber optics have many advantages over the more common copper networks (like cable, DSL, and dial-up). The biggest advantage is that fiber can support much higher bandwidths (more data) over a single strand. It is this that will enable the City to offer many services over the same cable without causing a bottleneck.
|
Free Space Optics |
The City is also currently leveraging two laser-based wireless system links that can provide connectivity to developments and sites that do not yet have connectivity to the fiber backbone. |
