CEN is America’s first statewide K-12 and higher education network to be built exclusively using state of the art fiber optic connections. Initially established in 2000, CEN provides a high speed, redundant, connection to every K-12 school district in the state. This includes over 240 schools and over 170 public libraries. These institutions that are on the front line of education reform use CEN to access: the Internet, Internet2, iCONN, and thousands of other resources. These resources are exclusively targeted towards students, teachers, researchers, and administrators.

We have expanded our high-speed fiber-optic network to now include: municipalities, state agencies, public and private businesses. CEN has also recently been connected to the state’s Public Safety Data Network (PSDN) as part of an overall umbrella network for the state. We now call this “The Nutmeg Network”.
