Our mission is to provide the infrastructure to support the needs of Kansas State University, allowing its students, faculty, and staff to communicate ideas and information with each other, with industry, with the community, with peer institutions, and with the world as a whole. We accomplish our mission by providing a wide range of communication and data network services to our users where they may be, and by assisting them in meeting their communications and information exchange needs. These areas include the maintenance and support of all telephones and telephone switch equipment and physical wire and fiber optic distribution networks carrying voice, video, and digital data. Also paging, radio, and cellular services, dial-in networking, and any other service needed by the university or by departments of the university to communicate. Our vision is to allow anyone associated with Kansas State University to have access to the people and information they may need to access, when they need to access, without failure.
Every person associated with the university desiring to communicate is a customer.
Without our customers we cannot generate the income to fullfill our mission. Accordingly, each customer is to be treated with the dignity and respect due to one so important to our mission. We provide voice, data, radio, and paging communications for the entire K-State community, including the main campus in Manhattan, the Salina campus, and the Manufacturing Learning Center in Manhattan. Telecommunications is constantly looking to the future and upgrading K-State's communications infrastructure. Voice services include analog and digital phone lines and phones for campus offices, residence hall rooms, and public areas.
