Regional Ethernet
Regional Ethernet
Regional Ethernet contracts provide Ethernet services statewide through commercial vendors. Ethernet services are available as point-to-point and point-to-multipoint connections. Various speeds (from 2Mbps to 10Gbps) and handoff facilities may be available, dependent upon locations and vendors. In addition, certain features such as QoS are available as well. OTS will work closely with agencies to provide technical assistance as needed, prior to ordering the services.

Agencies interested in acquiring Regional Ethernet service should complete and submit an OTS Ethernet Quote Request. OTS will determine which vendors are able to provide the service in the requested area(s) and obtain and validate rate quotes from the available vendors. OTS will then provide the quote to the requesting agency. If multiple vendors respond to the request for quote, the requesting agency may choose from the responding vendors based on the agency's specific technical needs, timeline or price.
To accept the quote and order the service, the agency should complete and submit to the OTS-38 Ethernet Service Order Form.
Ethernet rates are determined by the specific service type, speed and the distance of the service location from the service provider's ethernet node. Additional charges can be incurred where additional bands and mileage are concerned. Obtain specific service pricing quotes using the process described under the How to Order section.
