Campus Networking
All the IT resources and content should be available to the faculty and students from their desk as well as anywhere-anytime basis over the campus. To achieve the same, the universities/colleges/institutions need to establish Campus network at their campuses. It is very helpful for the universities/colleges and institutions to work from any block/building and receive the same speed of data transfer.
A campus area network is a computer network made up of an interconnection of local area networks (LANs) within a limited geographical area. The networking equipments (switches, routers, firewalls, IPSs) and transmission media (optical fiber, copper cable) are used to interconnect & communicate among all devices connected.
In a college or university/institution, its campus area network is likely to interconnect a variety of campus buildings, including administrative buildings, academic buildings, university libraries, campus or student centers, hostels, guest house, gymnasiums, and other outlying structures, like conference centers, technology centers, stadiums, and training institutes.
Internet & all applications/services are deployed at central locations from where faculty, staff and students access them using their desktops & laptops anytime from anywhere in the campus.
