KentuckyWired: Testing begins in Ring 1A

By Randy Lutke

Frankfort, KY - Data traffic began flowing through a major segment of Commonwealth's fiber optic cable network, KentuckyWired, on Wednesday, October 23. Although cable construction of Ring 1A was complete in June, the flow of data could not begin until work was complete inside the main data base centers in Frankfort and Florence. Data traffic is now flowing between those data base centers in a 2-week testing stage. Ring 1A is the Louisville-to-Lexington-to-Cincinnati segment of the network, and is the first of six rings to be completed.

Deck Decker, Interim Director of the Kentucky Communications Network Authority, the state agency overseeing KentuckyWired, says, "Government sites will soon begin lighting up along 1A, which means state offices will have faster service."
