The need.
-
Support UM’s extensive research activities and meet the constant data needs of UM students, faculty, researchers and staff.
-
Connect multiple campuses and high-capacity computers with a secure and reliable network.
-
Build a direct connection to Florida LambdaRail, a separate network that links Florida’s research institutions.
The solution.
-
We built an extensive fiber network that connects buildings within the boundaries of UM’s 260-acre Coral Gables main campus and provides a high-speed pathway between several other UM facilities spread throughout South Florida.
-
The campus is equipped with a high-capacity internet connection and is connected to smaller locations through a multi-site Ethernet network.
-
A Remote Fiber Test System (RFTS), which monitors the network’s metro rings to identify and isolate any potential outages on the network.
