The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated the negative impacts of the digital divide and magnified the connectivity
needs of many Oregonians. Link Oregon — a consortium of Oregon’s four largest research universities and the
State of Oregon’s Enterprise Information Services (EIS) — responded to the connectivity crisis with an
accelerated buildout of its network backbone.

Leveraging $8.39 million in CARES Act funding allocated by the Oregon Legislature Emergency Board through
Business Oregon, Link Oregon expedited deployment of network assets to extend connectivity to the state’s
public and non-profit sectors that serve the rural communities in southern and eastern Oregon—beating the
grant’s extended June 2021 deadline. To meet this aggressive timeline, Link Oregon augmented its network
engineering and project management team with expert staff generously loaned by several founding members.

In addition to serving the broadband networking needs of the five founding organizations, Link Oregon also
supports many of Oregon’s public K-12 school districts and education service districts and a growing number of
key Oregon research initiatives. The latter includes the Hatfield Marine Science Center, Oregon State
University’s coastal research campus in Newport, and the Oregon Hazards Lab (OHAZ) at the University of Oregon,
which implements two hazard detection and notification projects, ShakeAlert and ALERTWildfire, for Oregon. Link
Oregon also supports public and non-profit healthcare providers, libraries, Tribal facilities, and state and local
government offices statewide.

Current and anticipated federal and state broadband investments show promise for expanding last-mile
connectivity options that integrate with a robust middle-mile solution. Regional Internet exchange services also
play an important role in augmenting data throughput capacity—particularly for rural, remote communities.
Member-based Link Oregon is actively planning the next phase of expansion for its middle-mile network that will
connect other key locations and communities along the Oregon coast and into eastern Oregon.
