Network Remediation and Modernisation Programme

The University Data Network is the key foundation for all ICT operational activities, including online presence, teaching and learning facilities, research systems and processes, business applications and communication and collaboration. Having a well performing, robust and reliable network is a must in this information rich, digital age. Going forward the network must not only support the existing use cases, but also support future large-volume initiatives (e.g. CCTV, integration with physical security and building management systems, Smart Campus requirements, etc.).

The Network Remediation and Modernisation Programme  will allow the university to toughen the network from attack externally and internally.
