Gigabit Chicago is a gigabit-speed networking project in Chicago. It is a partnership of the State of Illinois, the City of Chicago and Gigabit Squared. BackgroundFollowing up on a request for information issued in September 2012,[1] in October, the University of Chicago, in partnership with the State of Illinois and the City, announced a project to bring gigabit-speed fiber to over 4,825 residents, businesses, schools and healthcare institutions in the Chicago’s Mid-South Side neighborhoods. Based on neighborhood participation and adoption, it has been reported that next generation broadband access (gigabit-per-second) will be potentially available to as many as 210,000 residents who live in over 79,000 households as well as the 10,000 businesses in the area.[2] ComponentsThe project consists of a fiber-to-the-home / fiber-to-the-business network as well as an ultra-high speed wireless network.[3] Deployment and servicesThe network will initially be deployed to 9 demonstration neighborhoods:
PartnershipThe State of Illinois awarded $2 million to Gigabit Squared as part of the Illinois Gigabit Communities Challenge. The University of Chicago committed $2 million, and Gigabit Squared will provide $5 million for the Gigabit Chicago project.[6] The network will be owned and operated by Gigabit Squared.[5] Financial and Organizational issuesGigabit Chicago's parent company, Gigabit Squared had its co-founder and president resign early in 2014 after Seattle sued over unpaid bills.[7] Chicago was also facing issues with Gigabit, as no milestones have been met after $2 million of investment from the city.
