The project focuses on leased lit fiber circuits with Ethernet-based, layer-2 high-speed data connectivity linking eligible entities to seven core aggregation points across Nebraska. Vendors must provide bandwidth options ranging from 100 Mbps to 100,000 Mbps, with service level guarantees requiring 99.99% uptime, maximum 15-millisecond latency, and 24-hour trouble response times.
