Abstract

OneCleveland is a model partnership between Greater Cleveland's higher education community and more than 1,000 education and nonprofit assets in the city. OneCleveland has acquired more than 400 miles of dark fiber, lit it with gigabit transportation, and aggregated Internet-bound traffic for all of these assets. This presentation will share information on exciting applications in the health care, education, research, arts and culture, and civic arenas.
