The Shasta County Office of Education also provides connectivity to the most robust research and education network infrastructure of any state in the nation. The multi-tiered, advanced network is a collaborative effort by:

• CENIC, K12HSN, and CalREN which serves the state’s public and private institutions of primary through higher educational communities.

• CENIC (Corporation for Education Network Initiatives in California) built and maintains the network.

• K12HSN (K-12 High-Speed Network)  K-12 schools and districts participation on the network, and is funded by the California Department of Education.

• CalREN (California Research and Education Network) is the statewide network consisting of 14 hub sites and circuits linking to 72 K-12 node sites, 11 UC node sites, 24 CSU node sites, 111 community college node sites, as well as six private university node sites.

In order to provide resilient service, this network consists of hub sites that link major statewide pathways and node sites providing connectivity to educational facilities throughout the state. The Shasta County Office of Education serves as a node site, connecting 100% of the districts in Shasta County. This network provides a number of advantages for students over commodity Internet:

• The CalREN network is dedicated to serving education.

• Local node sites participate in strategic planning and

decision making regarding this network which directly affects our community.

•  Services are provided on a cost recovery basis thereby eliminating the profit component of typical Internet providers.

• The network provides high speed connections designed to process a very high volume of data with minimal delay (latency) to the state testing centers, Google, as well as other education supporting facilities.

•  As an example, the average home Internet connectivity speed in California is approximately 25 Megabits per second (Mbps). The Shasta County Office of Education node provides a 10 Gbps shared connection (10,000 Mbps) for the districts.
