The Network Programme (NP)
The University is investing in modernising the data network with a complete upgrade:
- making it faster
- making it more secure
- making it scalable
- and with better wifi coverage
About the Network Programme (NP)
The Data Network at the University of Glasgow is a vital infrastructure component supporting the delivery of teaching, learning, research and business operations for the University. It has grown over the years to meet an ever-increasing demand, which it does very well, but is now aging and in need of a refresh.
The Network Programme will provide a modern data network service and technologies enabling the University of Glasgow to deliver world leading research and teaching.
