NetStar Australia, is to deploy an Internet Protocol network for Swinburne. The project is worth over $7 million and will overhaul the communications infrastructure across the University’s six Victorian campuses, with over 18,000 IP endpoints and 4,000 IP screen phones.

“The new IP infrastructure will result in over $900,000 in cost savings, so it is much more cost effective to implement IP telephony,” said Richard Constantine, CIO and IT Director at Swinburne University. “We will also benefit from a more sophisticated communications platform, enhanced capabilities and simplified maintenance. The implementation of the Cisco IP solution is being managed by NetStar Australia and is expected to be completed by the end of 2005. www.netstarnetworks.com
