Webinar: Expanding the Vision for Mobility
3/23/2007
Campus Technology will host a new webinar entitled "Expanding the Vision for Mobility: How Communications Convergence Meets." The free presentation will be held April 12 at 11 a.m. PDT/2 p.m. EDT.Until today, the promise of converged campuswide communications has been just that--a promise. But now, at institutions such as Dartmouth College, converged communications over secure, high-performance mobility networks has arrived. With the arrival of true convergence, institutions are achieving heightened user satisfaction and significantly lower costs--while meeting the growing demands of next-generation mobile devices and applications that are inundating campuses.
Join Brad Noblet, former CIO at Dartmouth and higher-ed networking expert, and Campus Technology's Geoff Fletcher as they discuss the real-world impact of communications convergence driven by campuswide mobility.
Highlights of topics to be covered include:
- The economies enabled by communications convergence, including reduced capital and operating expense made possible by converging voice, video and data networks;
- How institutions are creating competitive advantage and deepening student and faculty satisfaction by providing video and other multimedia applications over mobile networks; and
- How to achieve a whole new level of user privacy and security without compromising network performance.
