Wireless 3G unlimited Internet access via Ipad for a bookmobile that provides service to the counties of Carlton, Itasca, |
|
***Seeking proposal |
|
|
Koochiching, and St. Louis. With up to 2 MB of Bandwidth. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*Sites indicated "Seeking Proposal" require a bandwidth solution at least equivalent to current indicated; include quotes for higher bandwidth tiers and fiber options if available, on both single and multi-year levels. Circuits must be full-time QOS monitored, deliver traffic specific to our IP range directly into our internal LAN instead of over the Internet if not using the same Wide Area Network solution as the ALS Headquarters building, and provide full access to all functions of our Horizon, web, and email servers, including full stability with ongoing multiple telnet connections. Quotes should include and itemize one-time installation and equipment charges (all necessary equipment must be supplied, owned, and maintained by the provider), recurring monthly charges, and support/maintenance. |
|
|
|
|
**The ALS HQ building uses a NENET fiber connection as its WAN/Internet access provision. The 3 T-1's currently fed into the building by Enventis are used exclusively by the current Enventis sites for traffic into our LAN; the latter would not be necessary if all sites end up sharing the same WAN solution as the HQ building. |
|
|
|
|
***We are also seeking proposals to provide wireless 3G unlimited Internet access via Ipad to our Bookmobile that would produce reliable connections to the ALS web server from the majority of its stops throughout the indicated four county area. See http://www.arrowhead.lib.mn.us/services/rural/bookmobilemap for detail regarding bookmobile stop locations |

|
ALS will consider multi-year contract arrangements if the cost savings are significant. |
