Phone and Data

I met with Glen Mar I.T. experts: Larry Resch and Chad Sellers along with representatives from our Telephone and Data Service Providers, GTB, at 4 pm today.

We spent a couple of hours discussing the options and the pros and cons of various means that will enable us to provide a seamless network between the two sights This will be important as we draw close to bidding out the low voltage wiring for the new site which is part of Glen Mar’s responsibility and does not fall under the General Contractor.

We are seeking to be able to provide for seamless communications between the two sites with telephones operating with extension numbers no matter where you are on the two campuses and computers tied to the same network and having common file sharing that will make it easy to provide information no matter where you are.

Using a VPN and Voice over IP for telephony looks very promising, but further research is being done to make sure the economics and usability will meet all of our needs for the short term and the long term. Stay tuned for more updates as they become available.
