II. In order to provide location services for E911, migrate communication services to SIP Lines and implement Emergency Notification system via phones.
| 2018-2019 | 2019-2020 | 2020-2021 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| The replacement of aging Voice Routers and Call Manager servers with advanced Session Border Controllers (SBCs) is currently underway. The implementation of the SBCs will leverage existing PRIs and SIP trunks paving the way to enable enhanced Voice integration, Microsoft Teams, and e911. VLANs are also being re-engineered to enhance e911 identification and location accuracy. | Estimated Completion Summer 2021 |
III. In order to maintain security and optimal levels of service to students and staff, upgrade central communication services on a routine schedule, including email and Skype for Business.
