Oklahoma’s Telecommunications <strong>Network</strong><br />
(OneNet)<br />
http://www.onenet.net/<br />
Fully operational since 1996 – this ring-type<br />
fiber optics based backbone is built upon 4<br />
node sites that feed approximately 40 other<br />
hub sites that offer DS-3 connections (45<br />
Mbps).<br />
This comprehensive network is unlike any other in the country - utilizing fiber<br />
optics and wireless technologies to transmit video, voice and data throughout<br />
Oklahoma, the nation and the world. OneNet is not a state-owned utility, but<br />
rather a state lead partnership among telecommunications companies,<br />
equipment manufacturers and service providers.<br />
Participants: Public and voc-tech schools; colleges and universities; public<br />
libraries; local, tribal, state and federal governments; court systems; rural health<br />
care delivery systems; and research<br />
