1. Overview: Telecommunications Project
Planning and implementation (2007-today)
2. Discussion: Proposal to Improve Infrastructure
Upgrade horizontal wiring in buildings $28.8M upgrade, 345 buildings over 4 years Make systematic (vs. opportunistic) upgrades Emphasis: improve research support Need help identifying priorities
2
7-year Telecommunications Project
$22M project – accumulated reserves and augmentations Approved in December 2007, upgrades began in March 2008 Support research Refresh/upgrade campus data network Enhance security enhancements Expanded wireless Converge services Support emerging technology and services Emphasize open standards and flexibility Does not address horizontal wiring

Vision and Implementation
Scalable support for high bandwidth needs Uplinks scalable – 1, 2, 4, 10 Gbps – upgrade as demand
dictates Supports 1 Gbps to the desktop, 10 Gbps to research space
Research network component Improved redundancy, alternate paths, traffic engineering Support converged / real-time services
QoS implemented to support VoIP, video-over-IP
Support cloud computing, on- and off-site storage, enhanced connectivity to regional and national networks

Vision and Implementation
Expand centralized service Addresses fragmented wireless services Standardized across campus, fast roaming Initial focus on high traffic areas
Adding external mount antennas – cover traffic corridors Student Housing – Wireless in Residence Halls Managed Desktop Access Points
More rapid deployment, reduces costs Monitoring progress on femtocell offerings
Pre-positioning cabling in conjunction with WiFi deployments

Today: 1048 Wireless APs Deployed
Campus goal – 3,000 APs (including ResNet)
Voice Network Vision and Implementation
Flexible front-end: ties together VoIP, analog, software services
Integrate Unified Communications services into campus Active Directory service (OCS)
Ties together current PBX, desktop VoIP, OCS and softphone services into one management platform for call routing Transition off analog PBX
Flexible, open standards based Can integrate or interface to emerging services

Deferred maintenance of horizontal wiring
Older buildings have a mixture of cable types Installed wiring breakdown:
1% CAT-6a – 10 Gbps (emerging standard) 59% CAT-5e – 1 Gbps (current standard) 29% CAT-5 – 100 Mbps (outdated) 11% CAT-3 – 10 Mbps (outdated)
Significant amount (20%) of active NAMs use CAT-3
12
Deferred maintenance: Horizontal wiring
Units and research programs in older buildings disadvantaged with lower speed data connections
Impacts high speed research needs, access to remote sites and servers, data storage, desktop management, etc. Wireless solutions – insufficient bandwidth and scalability
Affects approximately 60% of campus buildings (to varying degrees)
13
Upgrade CAT-3 and CAT-5 to CAT-5e in 345 buildings
Power, HVAC, pathway improvements where needed
Contingency Design & Construction Management – project
management Selected upgrades for CAT-6a and fiber to
research spaces Not addressed – Telco room expansion (use
renovation projects) Timeline for upgrades – approximately 4 years Estimated cost: $28.8M
15
Emphasis: supporting research excellence Upgrade on a per building basis Group buildings into tiers based on priority for
upgrade Academic units determine first tier
Identify most critical buildings – emphasis on research spaces
Dean- and/or faculty-led advisory committee Determine composition of subsequent tiers,
scheduling Develop process and criteria for prioritization Some flexibility – changes accommodated
16
Possible Prioritization Criteria Locations with IT-intensive research (existing or
planned) Improve grant award opportunities Upgrade locations, first with CAT-3 then CAT-5 Tolerance for disruption
