After years of planning, negotiating, and collaborating with a host of partners, ITS will soon bring 10 times more internet bandwidth into the HSU environment. Upgrading all the network components necessary to effect this improvement will be phased in over several months. Some network outages will be necessary.

At various times, in various buildings, there will be short outages in network services while as new equipment is brought online. We're doing our best to make sure there are no interruptions to classrooms during teaching hours, but there will very likely be short outages in offices.  

ITS will soon publish a calendar of specific dates and approximate durations for outages, and will work hard to keep you notified shortly before each set of outages. We apologize in advance for any inconveniences this may cause. The result—10 times the bandwidth!—will be a real benefit to the campus.
