Illinois Century Network
In addition to $400 million in competitive grants, the Connect Illinois program includes $20 million for upgrades to the 100 GB Illinois Century Network, the state’s existing 2,000-mile open access institutional fiber network serving over 3,400 K-12, higher education, and library locations across the state. Importantly, this funding will provide a secure K-12 Broadband Network available at no cost for all Illinois K-12 public schools.
