Relocate and Grow

Challenge Us. We Dare You.
Nowhere in the United States can you find the
capacities of the data highways we’ve built.
Nowhere!

There are hundreds of communities offering glowing futures. They’ll tell you about video, and voice. You’ll hear about special business parks that have fast connectivity.

Imagine an entire community fed by a highly available, highly redundant fiber optic-based network. Imagine that the challenge is to find the fastest applications in the world to stress it.

Loma Linda isn’t looking for little web businesses. They’re easy to service by nearly any community. Loma Linda wants those organizations that can take advantage of its vast communications infrastructure, among the most advanced in the United States.

Loma Linda was the first community in the United States to mandate by building code, highly defined fiber optic connectivity to all new commercial and residential construction. The building code goes further to define advanced distribution wiring, cabling, and connectivity components to power the neediest data centers in existence. And it’s available not ten years from now, but today.

Loma Linda wants telemedicine, GIS/LBS-intensive database users, hybrid web/CRM organizations, digital video production companies, globally connected/data-driven financial concerns. No toys. No pretenders. Loma Linda supports extensive growth on top of highly-available (multi-pathed and redundant) infrastructure running through out the city’s geography. Only a handful of communities in the United States offer what we already have.

Businesses and organizations choose their sites based on many factors, including labor pools, cost of doing business, and the all-important factor of location. Nestled in the Inland Empire section of Southern California, Loma Linda enjoys a high and advanced quality and standard of living, as well as rapid ground, rail, and air access to the major markets in the Southwest. And it also has among the fastest data paths in the United States. We have a university-driven culture, but an eye towards growth markets.

The Quick History

Loma Linda is a young city. We’re driven by public-private partnerships that have allowed us to grow quickly as a gem in the Inland Empire. To continue our growth and quality of living, we envisioned what the future might hold, then in short order, envisioned, designed, and deployed an embedded communications architecture that rivals that of any city in the United States. It’s based on open and recognizable industry standards.

Loma Linda was the first city in the United States to put a standardized high-speed communications infrastructure into its building code, and back this infrastructure with a state of the art communications utility infrastructure rivaling the largest Internet Service Providers in the world.

The Loma Linda Connected Community Project (LLCCP) provides a highly available, extremely inexpensive, city-wide communications utility based on a city-wide fiber optics-based communications design. This design provides all new construction, residential or commercial, with connectivity that’s an expensive option in every major market in the United States—at a fraction of their price.

In the design of the LLCCP are a rich set of minimum wiring standards used for Internet connectivity that specify fiber to computer cable distribution, and how each room and/or office is wired. This provides a high denominator of advanced cabling, guaranteed by city building code.

These building codes ensure that advanced communications services are available to each and every newly constructed building in the city. Services that can be placed on this utility include:

  • Multi-site VLAN infrastructure at gigabit Ethernet speeds if desired
  • Multi-site Voice over IP (VoIP), also known as Internet Telephony, or VoN
  • Multiple competitors for voice, data, and hosting services
  • City-resident NOC-grade utility/co-lo data center
  • Direct or hosted connectivity to application service providers
  • Connectivity to Internet II and the National Lambda Rail
  • Fully redundant, multiple loop city fiber loops
  • Secure wireless mesh and layered back haul
  • City public safety services

The design is transparent. There is a secret sauce, however. It’s called infrastructure, business communications savvy, and more than a can-do attitude. It’s called “Let’s Start Now”.
