Carver County employees are transferring more and more information electronically and the current system is not meeting their communication needs, according to Steve Taylor, administrative services director for the county.

Currently, the county is tapping into communication lines provided by private companies. However, the county is currently accepting bids for a proposal that would allow the county to either own or lease a fiber-optic system.

Fiber-optic lines provide dramatically more capacity and communication speed than copper T1 lines.
