• Chanute’s community network is peered with the AT&T/SBC, Savvis Communications, Kan-ed and Midwest Connections networks to provide a highly reliable community network.

• Through multiple interfaces with AT&T/SBC, Chanute is able to offer network patrons “off the fiber network” connections to the community network via leased point-to-point circuits and both frame relay and ATM connections. Through these leased connections, Chanute is able to offer complete, high-speed data connections throughout the region.

• Certain governmental and institutional patrons may also be eligible for a high-speed, broadband wireless connection to the community network.

• As an aggregation point on the State-wide Kan-ed network, Chanute is able to offer Internet-2 connectivity to qualifying, eligible network participants. These entities include qualifying schools and colleges, libraries, and medical facilities.

• Currently the City of Chanute is not offering connections to the community network at less than a full T-1 equivalent bandwidth. This high performance network is ideally suited for the needs of Chanute’s businesses and institutional entities.

• Chanute also offers co-location space with direct fiber network connections. These spaces provide a disaster recovery site and off-site functionality and protection for critical business needs.

• The City of Chanute is interested in providing communications alternatives that bring additional benefits to the network patrons in Chanute. New capabilities and features are being developed continually. Please contact the City if you have communications requirements that are not currently being served by any of the other providers operating in the City of Chanute.
