Virtual Tour of a Telecommunications Central Office
This is a virtual tour of a telecommunications central office. This tour was developed for my ECO 235 class. This class would go on a field trip each year to one of Verizon's Central Offices. However, as my class got bigger and bigger this became unfeasible. This tour is meant as a substitute for that experience. I would like to thank Verizon for their cooperation in this project, the Faculty Technology Support Services for their grant and Andrew Whitt of Verizon for his expertise and assistance. If you would like to contact me to use this site, please email me at dloomis@ilstu.edu (David Loomis) or visit my web page.
To view this tour you need real audio/video player installed in your web browser. To obtain this free player, please visit Real Software at www.real.com. (They make the free player hard to find. Please look carefully on each page to find the "Free" link).
