Cosentini to design fiber optic network for Woodbridge, N.J. (Technology: Update).Cosentini Information Technologies (CIT n. 1. A citizen; an inhabitant of a city; a pert townsman; - used contemptuously. Which past endurance sting the tender cit. - Emerson. ), a division of international consulting engineering firm Cosentini Associates, is in the preliminary stages of designing a private fiber optic network system for Woodbridge Township township: see town. , N.J., which will entail entail, in law, restriction of inheritance to a limited class of descendants for at least several generations. The object of entail is to preserve large estates in land from the disintegration that is caused by equal inheritance by all the heirs and by the ordinary a 45-mile fiber optic network cable connecting 56 municipal buildings, including schools, firehouses, police stations and emergency services emergency services Emergency care '…services …necessary to prevent death or serious impairment of health and, because of the danger to life or health, require the use of the most accessible hospital available and equipped to furnish those services' centers, announces Douglas C. Mass, P.E., president of Cosentini Associates. The system, which comprises a cabling and networking infrastructure, will virtually eliminate the need for third party carrier companies for local phone service or costly data carrier transport circuits within the township.
