The government network initiative, GovNet, aims to digitize government processes for better accessibility and efficiency through interconnected agencies via fiber optic cables. Currently, GovNet connects numerous national and regional agencies, with plans for expansion targeting additional regions. The initiative is part of the broader Philippine Research, Education, and Government Information Network (PREGINET) and includes projects for free public Wi-Fi access.

24. How GovNet
works?

25. Basic structure of the GovNet

26. Government agencies A to F are called Points of Presence
(PoPs) and they are interconnected via 10 Gigabit fiber optic links.

27. PoP Agency is a government agency selected to house and
maintain DICT’s network equipment.

28. Non-PoP agency is a government agency
that is responsible for housing and
monitoring DICT’s network.

29. PoPs allocated 10 Gbps (Gigabits per second).

30. PoPs serve as the backbone of the
GovNet infrastructure
Basic structure of the GovNet

31. Each PoP has a number of government
agencies, referred to as the nodes, connected
to it.

32. These nodes are provided with a 1 Gigabit
fiber optic link to their corresponding PoP.

to it
How the IP network works
For the nodes, the IP network team
provides a media converter. No
configuration is needed for the media
converters since they are plug n’ play
devices. Once the media converters are
plugged, the network link is activated.
