Delivering education at wire speed - Soutiman Das Gupta, Network Magazine India
In quest of better educational content delivery, IIT Kharagpur expanded its converged IP network and deployed video and multimedia-based services. The Indian Institute of Technology at Kharagpur (IIT-K) wanted to deliver educational content to its students in a more flexible and organised manner, and decided to use IT as the enabler. With the assistance of its alumni, the institute set up a campus-wide converged IP network with over 4,000 access points that cover every hostel room. The network offers multi-layered switched QoS, video-on-demand, multi-cast video, and the ability to host IP telephony in the future. The new multimedia-friendly network gives the 5,000 students on the campus unrestricted access to the network from their rooms without the need to be physically present at specific locations.
