Question 9: Would this be a Wi-Fi set-up in the bldg with access points, network switches, etc? The way it reads to me it look like just a fiber line delivering 2Gbps to the bldg. where someone else would plug their own Wi-Fi router into the line.

Question 10: Could we get access to base fiber from building 2318 to bldg. 610? There’s unused fiber in 2318 that if not already going to 610 can likely be cross-connected.
