TV District staff to map fiber routes and pursue redundancy to reduce outages
Summary
Staff outlined options to improve redundancy for TV distribution — multi‑carrier data center services or secondary carriers — and will present detailed route maps and cost spreadsheets at the next meeting for board consideration.
Peyton presented options to improve the district's distribution reliability, saying the current routes rely heavily on general Internet and dedicated access with single points of failure. He recommended preparing a detailed map of existing fiber routes and a cost spreadsheet showing options ranging from adding a second carrier at the data center to a multi‑carrier (auto failover) solution.
Peyton noted higher‑availability solutions would raise monthly costs but increase resilience. Staff flagged potential partnerships and alternative tap locations (Fox/Reno/ABC4) and will return with comparative costs and a map at the next meeting to support decision making.
