The VoIP Buzz: A Progress Report
March 28, 2006What's the biggest technology buzz on campus? Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) communication service of course, but when is it coming to Northwestern?
Last fall, NUIT announced a new multi-year plan for communication services at Northwestern University. Tremendous progress has been made by NUIT's Telecommunications & Network Services to upgrade the University communication infrastructure to enable Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) architecture, a key component to VoIP communication services.
Involvement throughout the University is high, as NUIT has been working with technology leaders on campus to identify early adopters and pilot users for the first stage of the conversion. Beginning this month, selected pilot users on the Evanston campus will be issued new VoIP telephone sets and given the chance to experience some of the early capabilities and features of the new technology. Users won’t see a great difference over their conventional phone until University telecommunications “closets” (router stations) and telephone switches have been upgraded to fully take advantage of all available features and functionality.
NUIT's converged communications Web site provides additional information about this multi-year conversion plan for SIP and VoIP at Northwestern as well as an up-to-date list of the building upgrade schedule, so you can easily track our progress.
