Existing System? Yes Projects for upgrade of IT network infrastructure.

Projects for upgrade of network will be a continuous process over each biennium.

Both KSU's fiber network and its wireless network need to be expanded and upgraded. The fiber network's current topology needs to convert to a star topology which will require re-installing fiber to each building and terminating each connection at a central fiber hub. Redundant connectivity will insure neat 100% uptime for the network. Create a fully wireless campus where the network can be accessed by students, faculty, staff, alumni and visitors anywhere and anytime while on campus. This will also allow advances in information distribution using handheld devices such as cell phones, I-pods, I-touches, etc. Extend wireless access to KSU's research farm in Franklin County.
