WAN Communication Data Circuits (Managed Fiber Solutions)
Districts can leverage the consortium buying power to connect school buildings with high-speed fiber connections. LHRIC provides annual competitive bidding to secure best prices to connect or upgrade school district circuits. In addition, LHRIC manages partner vendors to connect, configure and manage these links.
In collaboration with your school district, we determine the best method for centralizing IT systems across your district’s school building and coordinate 1.0 Gb/s and 10 Gb/s fiber optic connections. These circuits create district networks that can accommodate secure data, voice, and video network communications. With proactive monitoring, we help minimize downtime and use our partner relationships to expedite necessary repairs.
Secure Remote Access Service – Virtual Private Network (VPN)
The Remote Access Service provides users with secure, role-based access to the district’s network. Users connect securely to their files and district applications anywhere and at any time through a virtual private network (VPN). The district determines the level of network access that is granted to each user. The service also can provide your District VPN activity logs.
