25.10.2012

Alcatel-Lucent's was $14.5 million; $2.5 million; $1.8 million; $798,000; $777,000; and $1.7 million.

Alcatel-Lucent will be deployed at 22 of the 23 CSU campuses; San Jose State University is with a broader Cisco implementation costing $28 million over five years.

SJSU is replacing three legacy phone systems with a Cisco implementation supporting integrated voice/data and video. The university is also implementing WebEx conferencing in each classroom, Wi-Fi access across the campus, high-definition TelePresence conferencing in 51 "learning spaces," and a new switch and infrastructure to support it all.

"We're using technology to provide a better learning environment," says SJSU President Mohammad Qayoumi. "We want to make sure students will be successful. Our view was not what hardware or software we were looking at; our view was a comprehensive solution with a strong emphasis on learning and the delivery of learning content and the students' success."
