Customer Business Needs
In response to the Governor’s COVID-19 Disaster Proclamation, ICN can provide connectivity and services to County governments and local County Emergency Management Agencies (EMA) for the time period of the disaster proclamation.
ICN services options include:
Point to Point / Point to Multipoint Ethernet / Transport Circuits
Partnership with the Iowa Department of Transportation
A major infrastructure project consisting of relocating a Point-of-Presence within ICN’s fiber optic Network was successfully completed in 2018. ICN built a network facility replacing an existing structure. To ensure services continued to run at the time of transition, temporary circuits were designed and implemented to protect connectivity to critical infrastructure such as hospitals and 911 facilities. The project took a year and a half of planning with 421 fiber splices moved and over 1,000 jumper cables installed within a 15 hour period.
