CatSU boosts campus connectivity with major wi-fi upgrade
AdministrationCatanduanes State University
(CATSU) is set to significantly enhance its wi-fi services after Dr. Patrick
Alain T. Azanza has successfully negotiated with the Department of Information
and Communications Technology (DICT) Provincial Officer Mario John D. Gonzales
to secure an additional 100mbps of free wi-fi exclusively for the university
students.
This boost is in addition to the
existing 150mbps dedicated to CatSU offices and the pre-existing 200mbps PLDT
line serving the Main Campus.
Moreover, Dr. Azanza has extended
his commitment to providing even broader connectivity benefits to the
university as he has sought DICT's assistance to install free Wi-Fi connections
at Panganiban Campus and to secure four Starlink connections for the university.
Dr. Azanza has also approved an
upgrade of the PLDT wi-fi connection at the Main Campus, increasing its
capacity from 200mbps to 400mbps, complete with a state-of-the-art firewall to
ensure security and reliability.
"Under my term, we have
upgraded our wi-fi connection from a total of 50mbps when I started at CatSU to
650mbps two years within my term,” Dr. Azanza said.
In addition to these
enhancements, the university is making significant investments in
infrastructure resilience. The President has initiated the installation of an
underground fiber optic network throughout all campus buildings.
“Kasama na rin sa mga pagbabago
ang pagkabit ng underground fiber optic network sa lahat ng buildings ng CATSU
para kahit may bagyo ay safe ang ating mga communication lines,” Dr. Azanza
said, highlighting this as a forward-thinking move ensuring uninterrupted
connectivity during adverse weather conditions.
