The City of Newark, DE has selected CTC to analyze the feasibility of a city-initiated fiber optic network, building on groundwork established during a recent CTC workshop. CTC will engage representatives of the University of Delaware on the City’s behalf, to facilitate potential connectivity from the University’s main campus to satellite locations within Newark. CTC’s engineers and analysts will develop technical models and cost estimates to explore the possibility of investing public funds in communications infrastructure to meet internal data communications needs and to provide service to the public. CTC’s study will enable the City to take informed next steps toward achieving its connectivity goals.
