Why does CIT develop standards for the communication infrastructure?
In order to provide everyone across the campus involved with the construction of physical or logical networks, a set of common practices and guidelines to work with. By designing the network and infrastructure while observing these standards, will result in a maintainable and reliable communication network for the Cornell community. There are both construction (i.e., physical plant, cabling,) and renovation projects that utilize these standards. In all cases, CIT strives to develop standards that create a reliable and resilient communication infrastructure for the University.
