Luxembourg now on new VoIP system

11/22/2010

The last of Miami's campuses is now reachable via five-digit dialing. The Luxembourg campus now has a Voice over IP system, similar to the one deployed at the Ohio campuses in 2009. Calls placed from any campus phone to the Luxembourg campus are handled like any other campus-to-campus call. Offices will no longer incur long-distance charges.

New five-digit numbers are being posted to the online directories and are available on the John E. Dolibois European Center website.

As part of the VoIP implementation, new switch technology and a new network architecture were installed to facilitate the ongoing needs of the program. In addition, new computers were installed in the lab and additional wireless access points were added to increase service in both the Chateau and Villa. A new active directory server was also added to provide seamless integration of Miami uniqueIDs and passwords for services going forward.
