Working closely with higher-education institutions, we’ve developed solutions that enable administrators to help improve academic achievement, integrate technology and remote learning capabilities, provide superior student services, and enhance institutional research. Many universities are using our solutions to develop and deploy advanced network applications that meet the current and evolving needs of their varied users.
Our private IP, Layer 3, MultiProtocol Label Switching (MPLS)-based VPN can put all your traffic on a reliable, private network with quality of service (QoS) routing. This allows you to build a hybrid solution between your public and private networks while enabling automated business processes, including e-commerce, Voice over IP (VoIP), converged solutions, and shared intranets and extranets.
Our six classes of service (CoS) let you prioritize your traffic (voice, video, data) while consolidating interchange on a single network. Plus, we offer a new set of network tools to help you gain visibility into your IP networks and fine-tune your network to help improve performance and control costs.
Whether you outsource service to us or manage it yourself, we can help you meet today’s rigorous network demands with:
Greater numbers of students today are choosing distance-learning options to satisfy their education requirements. With our Education solutions, you can use the web to integrate a wider range of activities—such as video conferencing, web conferencing, and hosted applications—to enhance their experience and improve how the curriculum is taught.
We're also working with higher education to develop strategic, economically-designed networks for the education sector. The Center for Distance Learning Research (CDLR), an education partnership between Verizon Business and Texas A&M University, offers a variety of services to assist public agencies and private businesses as they create their own distance-education programs. In addition to helping entities develop distance-education applications, CDLR services support research and evaluation and provide timely and appropriate professional development, technical assistance, and consultation.
Having extended your facilities beyond a brick-and-mortar campus to include campus extensions in rural communities and research facilities around the globe, your challenge now is to connect those facilities fully with your local systems and the broader campus community and manage them to consistently maintain good user experiences.
We offer broadband data connections and conferencing and digital communications systems you can use to bridge the distance and integrate remote sites into a single campus community. High-bandwidth, flexible metropolitan area networks (MANs) and WANs can connect multiple facilities within and beyond the campus. Powerful network applications like IP video conferencing can provide support for online classes, student/faculty collaboration, and interdepartmental research projects.
Our vendor-neutral, Professional Services experts can help design and implement the right solution for you—from customer premises equipment (CPE) to a network installation to ongoing support for your IT infrastructure.
Students rely on technology—computers, the Internet, social media, mobile phones, and an endless array of digital devices. And they expect to easily manage their student accounts and interactions online. This means that online student services are essential to maintaining productivity and recruiting students. While complex, integrating multiple devices and ensuring interoperability is essential. We can help you host and manage your systems, and even provide customer support, through digital contact centers.
Your campus IT systems contain thousands of personal records, financial information, and cutting-edge research that makes you a high-profile target for attacks. Plus, certain types of information, and the way that information is managed, are subject to government regulation. We are a leader in network and information security and can help you design, manage, and audit your security systems.
