Details of the network replacement schedule The team has completed the first phase of the installation of all central technologies which form part of the Network Replacement Project. The second phase will be tackled once all edge migrations have been completed. The team have completed around 95% of the replacement of the edge network (wired and wireless equipment) in University Buildings. The currently planned schedule for Edge Network Replacement can be viewed below. IS ALERTS will provide specific information about each migration once they are planned and confirmed. Detailed technical information will be provided in each IS alert. If you are unsure about your building name then check the campus maps Scheduled Work - Distribution Network There are two phases to the replacement of the Distribution Layer of the network, the first is the Logical Migration which is moving the routing function for each VLAN from the old Distribution Router to the new Distribution Router. The second stage involves moving the physical connections, this will happen as each downstream buildings or location has it's edge network replaced. Scheduled Work - Edge Network The Edge network replacement has various stages to it depending on the agreed schedule and the individual location being replaced. Wi-Fi Initial phase - this is a like for like replacement of the existing Wireless Access Points with the new Aruba access points. It should improve throughput, depending on your device capabilities but won't resolve any coverage issues. Enhancement phase - A post install Wi-Fi survey will be completed to highlight gaps in coverage or poor signal strength. The output of the survey will then be analysed and a further piece of work scheduled to add additional WAP's to new locations or places where coverage is poor and also to move existing WAP's to optimise coverage and signal. Wired Targeted replacement - Some areas may have targeted Wired network replacement to allow the replacement of the WiFi network ahead of the full Wired network replacement. Full replacement - This will be scheduled through consultation with stakeholders and communicated to affected users. The Edge Network (wired and Wi-Fi) replacement schedule can be viewed below (click to expand) - only a few specific areas remain to be completed and it is anticipated these will be complete by August 2024 (subject to successful testing/integration currently in progress).
