4CNet Video Migration Project: UPDATE

Edwin Smith
4CNet Project Manager

In early March 1999, the Butte-Glenn Community College District, in conjunction with the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office, issued its Video Pilot Report entitled “4CNet Backbone Upgrade Project Video Pilot Study and Report” (http://video.4c.net/video_report) The study supported the migration of videoconferencing services onto the 4CNet network, the implementation of which will begin soon.

All California Community College (CCC) sites have been notified that an installation schedule is posted on the 4CNet Web site (http://www.csu.net), and the first few campuses are scheduled for circuit installations in late April. Pending further slippage relative to the readiness of Qwest facilities and/or availability of telecommunications circuits, all funded CCC sites are scheduled to be installed by the end of the 1999 calendar year.

Those campuses who have not already done so are asked to review and acknowledge the installation data posted on the web as soon as possible. Some specific Web addresses are listed below.

Major portions of the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) on the video migration project have been published in previous issues of TIPS News (January 1999, February 1999).

Unanswered questions and related issues should be addressed to Catherine McKenzie (916-322-0833) or Ed Smith (562-985-9417).
