Information Services provides the core network connections for all of OSU's campus, connections to the Internet and Internet2, and in-building network management for departments that do not run their own.
About In-Building Networks
In-Building network costs are factored in to the annual network assessment. Departments that do not run their own networks are assessed a slightly higher rate that includes the replacement of network gear in their buildings and Information Services proactively manages that equipment. Information Services provides design and consultation services for all in-building networks on campus.
To Order Services
To order in-building or core network connection services, please submit a Telecom order request.
Connections to the Core OSU Network
We also provide connections to the core OSU network for departments that maintain their own local area networking. These connections enable departmental networks to be interconnected and to connect to the Internet and Internet2.

Call for pricing and service options
We offer several solutions for off campus OSU sites that need to be connected to the OSU network. Solutions depend on service availability, needed bandwidth, and the cost of services being provided from various service providers.
