Attachment B - POP Z End Locations - DVA-Quincy Veterans Home~1.pdf

This attachment lists the Points of Presence (POP) Z End Locations for the Department of Information Technology's fiber-based metro-ethernet transport service procurement related to the Illinois Century Network (ICN). The document identifies fifteen designated ICN POP sites across Illinois where agencies can connect for wide area network (WAN) last-mile connectivity. These locations span the state geographically, including facilities in Springfield, Chicago, Rockford, Moline, DeKalb, Normal, Peoria, Champaign, Charleston, Quincy, Olney, Carbondale, Macomb, Collinsville, and Paris. Each location is listed with its specific street address and serves as an endpoint for fiber-based point-to-point metro-ethernet connections between agency locations and the ICN infrastructure.

The listed POP sites include state-owned facilities such as the Central Computing Facility, various university locations including University of Illinois and Illinois State University, community college sites, regional offices, and local government facilities. This comprehensive network of endpoints enables connectivity across multiple state agencies and educational institutions throughout Illinois, supporting the Department of Information Technology's objectives to provide efficient and reliable WAN connectivity to multiple organizational points across the state.
