Government of Jamaica

USF Broadband Network

 

The government of Jamaica has launched a project to provide high speed internet to all high schools, libraries and post offices across the island. This project is being managed by the Universal Service Fund (U.S.F.) previously Universal Access Fund (U.A.F.). The project will be implemented by Lime and Flow working together to create a single wide area network to facilitate communication between all the sites.

The strategy thus far is to turn up (connect) the sites that are closest to existing infrastructure followed by sites that require some work to be done to make the connection then to sites which need significant amounts of work to be done after.

The network will be managed jointly by Lime and Flow where each will manage their portion of the network.  There will be some level of filtering done on the network.  Each site will be monitored for connectivity and for any threats a specific site may pose to the network.
