A Department of Transportation (DOT) public utility service provider had been tasked with providing video service, 911 and EMT services, internet access service and network bandwidth wholesale service to other state users. Because their role as a DOT service provider had changed and expanded over time, their aging network was made up of several sub level networks—including internet, wholesale, fiber, DWDM, MPLS, Mobile Radio and more. They needed a way to optimize their current fiber network today while they budgeted for future upgrades and time to plan a more efficient migration to a new IP-based system tomorrow.
