The City of Deltona's network infrastructure consisted of a mix of Frame Relay circuits along with Fractional T-1 circuits, PRI, Point to Point circuits along with some DSL sites running a very limited version of VPN. These circuits were provided by no less than 5 different vendors, and consisted of "bonded copper" pipes. This infrastructure was not only slow but very cumbersome and time consuming should there be a need for programming and repair, and did not provide adequate bandwidth to allow all sites to connect to the basic production application set used by staff.  This platform also could not support the City's investment in VOIP technology / topology. The real "trick" to this project was designing a compelling business case for Brighthouse to see the value in partnering with the City to improve both our service delivery and their ability to provide commercial grade services in Deltona and surrounding areas.
