 Mediacom Communications recently announced it has completed the transition of its West Des Moines network to the new 10G platform, which aims to achieve the symmetrical speeds of fiber on a cable network. The 10G platform will allow Mediacom to scale from current speeds of 1 gigabit to 10 gigabits per second and beyond in the coming years, according to a press release. It will also close the bridge between download speeds and typically much slower upload speeds, which is used for video calling and streaming live video. In the affected areas, the company’s existing plans will get a boost in upload speeds without requiring any new infrastructure updates. The next cities in Iowa to get 10G are Bertram, Cedar Rapids, Des Moines, Fairfax, Hiawatha and Marion.
 The Iowa Heartland Chapter wrapped up another busy year for technical trainings with our final training on December 6th and 7th. Attendance was good for our WiFi Fundamentals and Customer Expectations training, held on December 6th in Coralville and December 7th in Carroll. We would like to extend a big THANK YOU to Western Iowa Networks, which hosted our latest training and has been a great host for the past several years. Also, the Coralville Public Library has become a regular stop on our training "tour", and we plan to be back at both locations in 2024. Speaking of, do you have any ideas for trainings that would benefit you on the job? If so, we would love you to share your ideas with the Board during our planning meeting in January. Email Curtis Dean, [email protected] and thanks in advance for your suggestions!
