Information Technology Communications

Welcome to the home page of Information Technology Communicatons. Information Technology Communications is responsible for the campus backbone network, as well as the networks of many departments and auxiliaries. We consult, design, install and manage computer networks on all USF campuses and off-campus locations.

FAH, BSN and PHY Network Upgrade (2009-05-15)

Information Technology Communications has finished replacing the obsolete network infrastructure in all of the College of Business as well as all of the College of the Arts. We’re also updating a page with progress reports and Before-and-After pictures.
This project is replacing network equipment that is up to 13 years old with Power-over-Ethernet capable Gigabit Ethernet equipment for support of convergence of data, voice and video applications. It also vastly improves support for data-intensive research applications.

802.11n Wireless in the Business Building (2009-04-28)

Several rooms on the 1st and 2nd floor of the BSN building (old wing) now have 802.11n compliant wireless signal available. In practice this means the ability to serve more clients, have more reliable connections, and faster wireless speeds. We will continue to expand 802.11n coverage throughout campus.

Network Upgrades (2009-02-17)

Information Technology Communications will be upgrading the network infrastructure of select buildings (Business, College of Visual and Performing Arts, Education and Physics) to support Gigabit Ethernet, a speedup of ten to a hundred times compared to the current networks available at these locations.
The new Ethernet switches also support advanced features that prevent many network malfunctions and security problems, thereby reducing workload on USF IT personnel, making the network safer and more reliable. It also prepares USF to take advantage of unified communications in the long run, allowing the use of the computer network for telephony and video applications. This means that two separate, additional sets of cabling and equipment are no longer needed, leading to cost savings and a more efficient, single management framework.
This upgrade replaces equipment that is in some cases well over a decade old and no longer supported by the manufacturer.
