Fiber optics provides both strength and speed of computer storage

Last year, AT & T cast fiber-optic lines all the way from Stillwater Thursday Ponca City on Highway 177, which fronts on tribal chieftain offices. Strain plans to run out of cable box that AT & T comes to college and tribal chieftain cover all tribal chieftain buildings. Two buildings are already equipped with optical lines, Title VI, and the head start building, but the project was not completed at that time.

Power and speed of new optical system will also provide more opportunities for expansion of the tribe, said Wendell. There are several new buildings on campus are in tribal chieftain phase of planning - Water Center, maintenance of buildings, transport and construction of the building.

Current and speed up the Otoe-Missouri tribe telecommunications system is the right way, tribal chieftain Council Member Wendell Bollinger said recently. Wendell works car to replace current stocks of copper wire system with the existing fiber optics.

Optic lines are parts of high purity metal as thin as human hair that are arranged in bundles called optical cables carry digital information over long distances. Optical cables have several advantages over traditional metal lines, such as copper. They are much more bands, which means that it may be more data, they are less prone to interference, and is much lighter and thinner.

Greater average relative speed currently eleven hours faster computers will be installed is fiber optic system, Wendell said, and will allow computer chips faster and work more efficiently. Moreover, strain, phones and computers can be on the same line, which will save money.

It also provides strain is able to provide the same high-speed Internet services to tribal chieftain families in homes that can help open opportunities for them, regardless of age who live with their education, including a long distance. In addition, the Pawnee tribe chieftain College showed an interest in working with the Otoe-Missourias in providing learning opportunities to large distances in the surrounding community. Supply of computers in the tribal chieftain library with high-speed Internet access, can also help those without computers at home to continue their education.

Wendell has worked with computers since the'60s, while in the U.S. Army, he takes the opportunity to attend meetings of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, where he teaches programming languages.

Coming from the army - when everything is organized and in order - he was horrified to find the strain was a computerized system that will come once in two or three times a week. Although the system has improved markedly, and new fiber will níže parent him.
