A-26. The Company will provide a fully functional emergency alert system on the subscriber <br />network that is compliant with applicable local, state and federal EAS requirements, and which will <br />be coordinated with the Commission. <br />B. INSTITUTIONAL NETWORK <br />B - 1. The I -Net will be 450 MHz capacity_ <br />B - 2. The I -Net will consist of 56 channels (25 upstream and 31 downstream) available for <br />non-commercial institutional uses. Further, the I -Net will be segmented for purposes of narrow- <br />casting video and data within municipal boundaries. The minimum number of segments in the <br />system will be at least equal to the number of nodes in the I -Net. Grantee will provide all equipment <br />necessary to make this happen_ <br />B - 3. Grantee will provide twenty eight (28) new, additional pilot generators. <br />B - 4. Grantee will retime_ any existing amplifier in the I -Net which are anticipated to be <br />used in the upgrade.. <br />B - 5. The I -Net will have full standby power with full battery placement. <br />B- 6. Grantee will introduce twelve (12)_ count fiber into the Institutional Network resulting <br />in a reduction of all amplifier cascades to no more than 10 amplifiers deep which shall increase from <br />9 to 17 where fiber is placed, allowing for a segmentation increase of 89%. All I -Net nodes will <br />be connected by fiber to hubs. Two (2) fibers will be used to support the upstream and downstream <br />capabilities of the HFC I -Net. The additional ten (10_ fibers will be connected from the hub to each <br />node for the purpose of supporting redundancy and facilitation of end -to -end fiber connections <br />within the institutional community. Further, Grantee will make available end -to -end fiber <br />connection and useage of the I -Net in accordance with Exhibit E and F. Grantee will connect two <br />(2) dark fibers to each city hall listed in Exhibit E, provided the cost of such construction can, at <br />Grantee's discretion, be included in the PEG fee, and further that it is understood that the institution <br />is responsible for any end -user or interface equipment needed to connect the institution to the dark <br />fibers. Grantee will remain responsible for the node equipment previously proposed. <br />Grantee will be responsible for the activation of the fibers referenced above with optical transmission <br />and reception equipment as more specifically delineated in Exhibit F. The timeline for such <br />activation will be no later than 30 days from the time any institutions request connection and usage <br />in accordance with the policies of Exhibit F. <br />B - 7. Grantee will make the I -Net capacity referenced above available to the <br />designated institutions in Exhibit E for video uses at no charge. Additionally, Grantee will comply <br />with the requirements and policies regarding use of bandwidth as set forth in Exhibit F. Grantee <br />will be permitted to charge for the use of the I -Net in accordance with Exhibit F. <br />1141648-1 <br />
