You might think that network and telephone configuration for the newly expanded Student Center/Cross-Cultural Center would be relatively straightforward to design and install. However, here are some metrics to demonstrate the magnitude of this project.
- 12 communications rooms for telephone and network equipment and cabling
- 40+ wireless access points
- 70+ network switches
- 120+ strands of optical fiber interconnecting the 12 communications rooms to other fiber junctions on campus
- 2100+ inside-building cables for data and phone jacks – or almost 90 miles of cabling
- 3050+ pairs of outside-building wires, over 470 miles, to connect the 12 communications rooms to the Central Plant communication core site.
NACS completed the design and implementation of the network and telephone infrastructure for the Student Center/Cross-Cultural Center expansion on time and within the budget allocated for telecommunications.
