Built physical path diversity into the Florida LambdaRail consortium connection using infrastructure the city already owned: separate primary and backup fibre routes running over different bridge crossings on opposite structures, into a carrier facility, with an out-of-region backup path to Atlanta.
Diversity that exists only on a carrier’s paper map tends to converge in a single conduit somewhere. Routing over assets we controlled meant the paths could be proven separate rather than asserted separate.

- Cecil Disaster Recovery Data CentreFacility and network design for the recovery site — power, cooling and carrier entry as well as what ran inside.
- Florida LambdaRail Regional ConsortiumFive independently governed public bodies onto the state research and education network, over fibre paths that could be proven separate.
