Attachment B - POP Z End Locations Pecatonica.pdf

This attachment document lists the Points of Presence (POP) Z End Locations for the Illinois Department of Information Technology (DoIT) Pecatonica Metro Ethernet contract opportunity. The document identifies fifteen designated POP sites across Illinois where fiber-based point-to-point metro-ethernet transport service will be delivered. These locations include major institutional facilities such as the Central Computing Facility in Springfield, the Michael A Blandic Building in Chicago, and various regional university and community college centers positioned throughout the state including locations in Rockford, Moline, DeKalb, Normal, Peoria, Champaign, Charleston, Quincy, Olney, Carbondale, Macomb, and Collinsville. The list also includes the Edgar County Sheriff Department in Paris and a regional office of education facility in Olney, establishing a geographically distributed network infrastructure across the state.

The attachment serves as a reference document for the wide area network (WAN) connectivity project, which will provide last-mile fiber-based metro-ethernet transport services connecting agency locations to Illinois Century Network (ICN) points of presence. This document supports the RFQ process and provides potential vendors with the specific end locations where service delivery is required, enabling bidders to understand the scope and geographic distribution of the infrastructure project for which they will be submitting proposals.
