These technology areas complement the long-range strategic vision for computer services of continuous infrastructure improvements, decentralized support and reengineering resources. All campus computing labs have been networked thereby providing increased security, quick turnaround on software installations and access to the campus data communications. Every classroom will link faculty, students, and support services to the campus network backbone. In 1999, we purchase and installed a Fujitsu PBX system which provides digital phone service and a host of enhancements and services. The Internet is now a major distribution channel for software products such as government documents, digital libraries and on-line courses.
Internet traffic doubles every six months.
Lee College must be in position to tie into the Internet2 with high-end routers and hubs on the network backbone. In support of our goals, advanced networking and emerging technology help keep Lee College competitive. To that endeavor, we are currently working on those goald. From administrative systems to continuing education and community relations, the network sustains distance learning and outreach in which the college must take a leadership role in maintaining its public image. The videoconference network transport infrastructure will consist of a network of T-1 digital telecommunication circuits.
