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 4

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 5

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 7

8 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 9

Status Data network and fiber plant can support campus needs Last 100 meters is the limiting factor 11
12
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wiring breakdown: 1% CAT-6a – 10 Gbps (emerging standard) 59% CAT-5e – 1 Gbps (current standard) 29% CAT-5 – 100 Mbps (outdated) 11% CAT-3 – 10 Mbps (outdated) Significant amount (20%) of active NAMs use CAT-3 12
13
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
16
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
17
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 Technical Indicators Percent assigned research space in building Percent CAT-3 and CAT-5 wiring Building size / # NAMs Bandwidth consumption 17

Upgrade horizontal wiring in buildings $28.8M upgrade, 345 buildings over 4 years Make systematic upgrades vs. opportunistic Phased or tiered approach Emphasis on improving research support Need help identifying priorities 20
21
Deans’ endorsement of proposal and approach Continue work with BIA to establish financial commitments Develop first tier building prioritization Bring proposal to key campus stakeholders Obtain approval from campus administration Charge Advisory Committee 21
