viNGN Future Business Plans
viNGN Sales @ A
Glance
• The viNGN fiber optic network will be an open-access,
middle-mile wholesale bandwidth provider. viNGN will
sell bandwidth only through an ISP. viNGN will not sell
direct to any end user (e.g. businesses, agencies,
residences, etc); those are all the customers of the
ISP’s. The ISP’s are the customers of viNGN.
• The viNGN network is designed to provide fiber all the
way to the Community Anchor Institutions (CAI’s), and
Public Computer Centers (PCC’s) on our Network.
However, service over those fibers will be provided only
by their chosen ISP’s.
viNGN Sales @ A
Glance
•
Many CAI’s in the continental USA transition to a minimum of 1
Gigabit service when it is available. This will be available on our
network.
•
Our CAI’s, like those in other communities, serve as the
backbone of our Territory. Upgrading their bandwidth leads to
overall improvement in bandwidth sustainability and usage that
the Federal Government is seeking. A healthy community
depends on strong CAI’s to provide jobs, purchase local goods
and services, and support its health, education and social needs.
To do that in the 21st Century requires sufficient bandwidth.
viNGN Sales @ A
Glance
•
Representatives of CAI’s and other interested parties today have an
opportunity, through your ISP, to connect to our new fiber optic network
and upgrade your level of bandwidth at your specific location, and do
your jobs better, more efficiently, and bring even greater value and
services to this community -“Connecting The V.I. To The World…”
•
Information regarding our rates and services will be available shortly.
We are then ready to meet with ISP’s interested in purchasing bandwidth
from viNGN to significantly increase the bandwidth speeds of the U.S.
Virgin Islands and stimulate future growth of our Territory.
•
viNGN is here to serve the U.S. Virgin Islands, and we look forward to the
opportunity to serve each and every one of you here today.
CAI & ISP Bandwidth Measurement BroadMap SBI Grant Vendor Info
•
Under the BTOP SBI grant viNGN has contracted with BroadMap to collect
information about the broadband internet service currently available at your location
as a CAI and also from all ISP’s.
•
This information is being collected by the National Telecommunications and
Information Administration to show where the nation’s broadband internet services
are located, and what speed and type of service is being used.
•
BroadMap has created an online portal to help you safely and securely submit your
broadband internet service information. Please go to
https://usvi.broadmap.com/caiportalUSVI/, pick your institution from the list and log
in. Once you are logged in, you will be guided through the information collection
process.
•
If you experience any technical difficulties contact BroadMap (Monday – Friday
between the hours of 9 am and 5 pm Eastern Time) at (866) 928-5750 or email
support@broadmap.com . Should you require, further direction with regards to using
the site, we have scheduled a series of online webinars to walk through this process,
show you how the portal works, and answer any questions you may have at that
time. You will be contacted under separate cover providing you with dial-in
information and links to the online webinars.
