Campus Network Infrastructure Roadmap

This page provides a strategic synthesis of the refined metrics for Goal 5B4 of the Transformation 2030 plan, focusing on the systematic modernization of SJSU’s IT infrastructure. The objective is to ensure the university maintains a resilient technological foundation capable of supporting its mission of teaching, learning, and R1 research.

Wi-Fi Access Point Deployment Matrix

This matrix outlines the rollout of Wi-Fi infrastructure. To maintain alignment with official Transformation 2030 Goal 5B4 metrics, the core strategic target is set at 2,000 access points (APs) for State-owned buildings, with supplemental deployments planned for auxiliary facilities to prevent a campus-wide digital divide.

Wi-Fi Access Point Deployment Matrix
Fiscal Year Target Quantity (APs) Deployment Location Status
25-26 800 Auxiliary Buildings - Housing CVB, CVA, Joe West, SVP, SV2 Complete
26-27 1800 State-owned Buildings In Progress
27-28 500 Auxiliary Buildings Planned
28-29 Steady State Main Campus Planned
29-30 Steady State Main Campus Planned

Network Core & Switching Infrastructure Matrix

The strategic objective for Goal 5B4 is the replacement of 300 Core switches. As part of the "Reconciled Asset Targets," core state upgrades are prioritized to ensure core reliability, while auxiliary and departmental switches (such as those in Engineering) are tracked as supplemental requirements.

Network Core & Switching Infrastructure Matrix
Fiscal Year Infrastructure Type Quantity Deployment Location Status
25-26 Firewalls 2 Core Data Center Completed
25-26 Switches 18 Engineering Completed
26-27 Switches 50 State-owned Buildings Planned
26-27 Switches 25 Auxiliary Buildings Planned
27-28 Switches 200 State-owned Buildings Planned
27-28 Switches 100 Auxiliary Buildings Planned

Campus Cabling Modernization Matrix

The modernization of campus cabling is essential to support high-speed network backbone and fiber circuits connecting the main campus and satellite facilities. While the current roadmap plans for 21 total building upgrades, the primary strategic metric for Goal 5B4 success is the completion of the first 10 buildings.
