Dragon Line is an underground substructure at the heart of Flushing2025.

Legacy infrastructure can’t accommodate today’s technological tools or communications platforms. Building or changing networks occurs in piecemeal. Disruptive technology or software innovations push the limits of what carriers can provide and how quickly they can provide it. Underserved, underdeveloped neighborhoods are stymied by operator capacity or coverage. Infrastructure 2.0 is tailored from the ground up to natively scale with the demands of various current and future technologies, as well as deeply embedded devices without limit. Intelligent control allows business to flourish as well as escalates the use of smart infrastructure for the benefit of the entire community.

Carrier-Neutral Freedom and the End of Infrastructure as we know it.

A 1 Tbps (Terabit per second) power over fiber underground network, electricity and light are unified to create the energy and information transport core for everything in the smarter community. A distributed energy system allows ubiquitous devices to be powered without the need for electrical wires. Ambient energy powers the Ambisphere for machine to machine communications. Since the power and energy is isolated underground, neither downed poles nor lightning can take the grid down. The grid would receive power and IPv6 via different points of entry by a vast array of fiber optic carriers that run underneath the Freedom Mile. A central energy management system, would integrate into the local smart grid eliminating any wireless or terrain challenge typically experienced in dense urban environments.

Since the Dragon Line is a carrier-neutral transport service, businesses may choose from any telecom or internet provider with total freedom and independence from the local phone company or cable providers. At the end point lies the Freedom Gateway, a junction to reach more than 300 network and phone providers at any New York Metro area telco hotel.

A software-defined Tabula Rasa infrastructure.

The entire community can tap into the sophisticated software defined pipeline. Organizations can instantaneously build and manage complex unified networks, connect between one another, or between institutions and buildings, eliminating costly telco circuits and infrastructure. No infrastructure planning is necessary, and all connections are instantaneous. Compare this to the existing legacy infrastructure which is fragmented and must be planned and installed over months and years with no ability to make changes easily, as well as suffers from lack of coverage areas.

Legacy Infrastructure and the Dragon Grid compared:

Mean Time to Repair:  Days versus Seconds
Scalability:  Months versus Minutes
Architecture: Fragmented versus Unified
Infrastructure:  Disjointed and installed as needed versus Ubiquitous
