Nebraska Public Power District has simultaneously deployed two major Telecommunication transport networks over the last decade. One system planned with a complete multi-phased approach, and one with more of a "grow-as-needed" ad-hoc mindset. This session will provide an overview of the projects and discuss the pros and cons of each method and insights NPPD will be carrying into future deployments from lessons learned.
