Following are the expected technology changes for the next three years. Since then our modem pool has been upgraded and expanded with separate high-speed modem pools for students, faculty, and staff. Challenges Remote access is one of the toughest but most important technological challenges we face at CSU, Chico. First, we must rely on public utilities or private companies to provide services to our community. Students, faculty, and staff are spread over a large area and the students move often, so gaining connectivity to homes can be difficult and expensive.
Cost is one of the major obstacles to providing the technologies needed.
No single solution is adequate to resolve the challenges of remote connectivity for the CSU, Chico community. Information Resources continues to develop and provide a suite of services to address the various needs of our population. We are looking at technologies that are heavily supported in industry in order to provide the lowest cost to our users. Below you will see a partial list of communications technologies used and those being considered and the time frame for their implementation on campus.
