VERIZON, ALCATEL ROLL OUT MEGA-IP NETWORK IN LAS VEGAS
Verizon and Alcatel are deploying one of the world's largest Internet protocol (IP) telephony systems for the school district that covers the city of Las Vegas and surrounding areas.
As the sixth largest school system in the United States, the Clark County School District has more than 300 facilities, an enrollment of almost 268,000 students and 30,000 employees. The 27,000-line IP network will connect every classroom and administrator and deliver enhanced communications features and security capabilities.
The three-year contract, valued at more than $15 million, covers the range of services provided by Verizon's Enterprise Solutions Group, such as network assessments, project management and installation, as well as hardware and software from Alcatel. In addition, Verizon and Alcatel are providing on-site technical support, training and ongoing maintenance.
