The document specifies fifteen designated end locations across Illinois where fiber-based point-to-point metro ethernet transport services will terminate, enabling wide area network connectivity between agency locations and Illinois Century Network POP sites. These locations include major state facilities such as the Central Computing Facility in Springfield, the Michael A Blandic Building in Chicago, and regional offices in Moline, as well as educational institutions including the University of Illinois at Champaign, Illinois State University at Normal, and Eastern Illinois University at Charleston. The service scope encompasses last-mile connectivity solutions connecting various state agencies, regional offices, educational facilities, and community colleges to the ICN network infrastructure.

The attachment serves as a reference document identifying the specific geographic endpoints where metro ethernet services will be required, spanning from northern Illinois locations such as Northern Illinois University in DeKalb and the WIU Regional Office Center in Moline to southern Illinois sites including Southern Illinois University at Carbondale and Edgar County Sheriff Department in Paris. This comprehensive listing of fifteen POP Z end locations establishes the service delivery territory and infrastructure connection points necessary for bidders to understand the geographic scope and distribution of the required wide area network connectivity services across the state.
