The upgrades will increase bandwidth from 2.5 to 10 times current levels and will benefit campuses in Golden and Invermere operated by College of the Rockies, and campuses in Hudson's Hope, Tumbler Ridge, Chetwynd and Dease Lake operated by Northern Lights College.
The increased bandwidth supports educational technologies required by today's learners, allowing institutions to expand their programming and instruction options to better serve the needs of students. For example, some campuses will gain a greater capacity to provide remote learning opportunities, allowing students to stay closer to home while they get the education, skills and training they need to succeed.
The infrastructure work required to increase bandwidth at these six campus locations is expected to be completed over the next few months.
This is the latest round of network connectivity upgrades that are benefiting public post-secondary institutions throughout the province. A series of similar upgrades were completed between April 2011 and October 2012.
Government has also identified additional upgrade priority locations and anticipates more will be completed by the end of fiscal 2013-14.
