The following options are available with this service: 

Connectivity Options
These options enable direct access to the UW Network from the off-campus location. The high-speed options can be costly and can require 6-18 months to arrange. Advanced planning with the Real Estate Office and UW-IT is strongly recommended. Options include:

• T1 Line and T1 Line Mileage

The T1 line is ideal for low bandwidth requirements. Each T1 line is 1.5Mbps. In general, a site may order up to four T1 lines for a total of 6Mbps before other options are explored. Mileage charges may apply based on which central office provides the T1 line. Allow three to four weeks for order processing, installation, and testing. An Out of Band Modem Line is required with this option.
 

• Qwest QMOE (Qwest Metro Optical Ethernet)

QMOE is a leased fiber service integrated with the UW Data Network. In general, QMOE connections will either be 20Mbps, 50Mbps, or 100Mbps, but other bandwidth options may be available such as 500Mbps and 1000Mbps. There is a minimum four-year term requirement. Allow at least three months for order processing, installation, and testing. An Out of Band Modem Line is required with this option.
 

• UW Metro Area Ethernet

UW Metro Area Ethernet is used to provide 1000Mbps connections. Allow approximately one year to provision because of dependencies for permits and coordination with the City of Seattle.
 

Communication Infrastructure
This includes cabling and telecommunication room(s). Site evaluations will determine requirements, options, and cost estimates and are often coordinated with the help of the Real Estate Office and the building's owner/manager.

Desktop Telephone Service
UW-IT telephone service features available on campus are also available off campus, with a few exceptions for locations outside of the Puget Sound area. Please see the detailed description for Telephone services.

This allows for connectivity between workstations at the off-campus location at speeds up to 1Gbps. Wired Ethernet Service features available on campus are also available off campus. Please see the detailed description for UW Network Connectivity services. 

Wi-Fi Service 
This allows for connectivity between workstations at the off-campus location using 802.11a/b/g/n wireless technology. Please read the detailed UW Wireless Policy.

Other
Sites may optionally be furnished with the following services as needed:

• UW-IT managed subnet-level firewall.
• A redundant router connection via Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) for high availability.
• If the site cannot connect directly to the UW network, an IPsec VPN can extend UW data network connectivity through a secondary Internet Service Provider. UW telephone, wired, and Wi-Fi services may not be available with this connectivity option.
