Oklahoma Community Anchor Overview

The Oklahoma Community Anchor Network (OCAN) is a project of the State of Oklahoma comprised of a partnership between the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education/OneNet, the Office of Management and Enterprise Services and the Oklahoma Department of Transportation.

A number of state agencies own, operate, and maintain telecommunications infrastructures, including the Office of Management and Enterprise Services, the Oklahoma Department of Transportation, the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education/OneNet and the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority.  OCAN  allows the State of Oklahoma to bridge these disparate network configurations into a focused and aligned network to improve broadband access to areas of the state identified as unserved or underserved.
