TNS is staffed by approximately 40 full-time technical and 10 part-time students. TNS is responsible for and maintains our capital funding. These capital funds are used for capital-equipment refresh (funds for upgrading capital equipment after its useful depreciated life) , to purchase new capital equipment for existing or new services, and to fund other capital projects requiring depreciable equipment.TNS continues to receive requests from cellular carriers for access the campus to place antennas and equipment to reduce density and increase coverage. The carriers are interested in base station locations and in-building distribution systems. TNS in conjunction with the campus security office will investigate other approaches to providing network intrusion detection and prevention on campus as a next step in the evolution of the existing campus system.TNS goal is to have wireless service defined and network installed/ upgraded by the fall semester.TNS will apply a 4-step plan for getting from current service to a better defined and supported campus-wide service by:
• Establishing a wireless service advisory group representing faculty, students, staff and technologists
• Obtaining end-user input that can be translated into requirements for a wireless service and service description
• Obtaining executive sponsorship necessary for legitimacy and support of the service at upper levels of the University administration
• Developing the implementation and deployment strategy
TNS mission of the Telecommunication and Network Services (TNS) Department is to effectively deliver quality communication services to our customers and fulfill our stewardship role for institutional communication resources.
