Internal Telecommunications System Development. Policy Statement: The County will continue to advance and develop its internal telecommunications systems for the benefit of its citizens. Such advancements lead to more efficient government operations, more accessible government services and a more informed citizenry. The County will use a combination of expanded or improved internal infrastructure, equipment and other resources, as well as continued outsourcing ofsome support functions, taking into account the best cost versus benefit analysis, to expand its provision of information electronically and heighten its video, voice, and data communications connectivity, capacity and capabilities. Applicable Action Steps: • Continue to pursue current critical activities related to an upgrade of the County's E-mail system. • Upgrade the County's telephone system. This should include a new PBX system with expanded voicemail capability. • As competition increases in the local exchange carrier marketplace,review options for the most cost effective provision of dial tone services. • Upgrade the County's data communications system. This includes:upgrading routers and some hubs at all pertinent County facilities;upgrading the Ethernet switch at County; migrating to Fast Ethernet or higher capability at County; and incorporating additional network management and reliability enhancements for the entire network. • Prepare for the migration over time of the County's video operations to all digital production,post-production and transmission equipment and facilities. • Expand the connectivity options for video communications to include additional video program origination sites at the Southern Human Services Center(SHSC) & Government Services Center(GSC). • Utilize fiber optic and other Institutional Network(I-Net) infrastructure,provided through cable franchise and other agreements to enhance Wide Area Network(WAN) connectivity between the County's facilities.For those facilities connected via fiber, this would include a minimum expansion in connection capacity for data communications of between 10 and 100 megabits per second(Mbps) and up to 2 Mbps for facilities not connected by fiber optic cabling. Concerning voice communications, for facilities connected via fiber a minimum of 2 T-1 circuits should be available,with other connectivity options pursued for those not connected by fiber.
