According to the 2015 federal direction “Access to high – speed broadband is no longer a luxury; it is a necessity for American families, businesses and consumers.”

In today’s hyperconnected age, municipalities have identified that keeping the population connected is a ubiquitous service and falls under the category of basic utility (water and power) needs for a community. With this idea in mind, The City of Fort Collins asked its voters whether a city-wide broadband service was needed. After the vote was finalized The City embarked on a journey to become a Gigabit City.

The City needed to evaluate whether it should add to its existing IT infrastructure a solution that was able to manage these new services separate from its legacy system or get a new multiservice solution with an infrastructure that could scale seamlessly.

This session will discuss The City of Fort Collins's journey from technology selection through the implementation process.
