Campus Network/Cabling Retrofit

Project Summary

  • Bond Allocation: $2,705,000
  • Architect: TBD
  • Description:
    Provide network cabling retrofits to campuses with older infrastructure such as Cat 3 or Cat 5 cabling. These projects also provide more bandwidth to the desktops throughout the associated campuses by installing Cat 5e + as well as additional drops to support a growing number of devices that utilize such services.
  • Background/Justification:
    In previous years Katy ISD has installed a limited number of physical cables in each classroom and installed a 3Com jack in the wall that provided (4) network ports. The installation of this 3Com device was used for a number of network devices located in each classroom (i.e., desktops, laptops, projectors, IP telephone, etc.). Due to the amount of the data passed over the network, a growing number of devices and the limited capabilities of the 3Com jacks, a retrofit to the listed campuses would included the current standard of Cat 5e + as well as add additional drops. Each campus listed will also be reviewed for any AC and power issues in the network closets.

    The Wireless cabling portion of this project touches all campuses and is would be done in conjunction with the proposed Core Network/Wireless Infrastructure line item within this Bond initiative.
