Infonet Centre

About Us

The Infonet Centre stands as the technical backbone of the University of Rajasthan, overseeing all activities related to the Infonet project. Responsible for the management of Campus wide area Network, Wifi Network, website maintenance, mail servers, result servers, and research servers, the Centre plays a pivotal role in ensuring seamless access to digital resources and information dissemination. Committed to advancing the university's technological infrastructure, the Centre promotes the development and utilization of open-source software and leverages cutting-edge platforms like the Linux-Apache-Mysql/Perl/PHP (LAMP) platform to drive innovation and efficiency. Furthermore, the Infonet Centre collaborates closely with two critical networking infrastructures: the Campus Wide Area Network (CWAN) and the National Knowledge Network (NKN). The CWAN, named RUN (Rajasthan University Network), is based on Gigabit Ethernet Technology with Optical Fiber Backbone. It provides high-speed connectivity across the university campus, facilitating efficient communication and collaboration among students, faculty, and researchers. Managed switches ensure seamless connectivity to each room in campus buildings, enhancing accessibility and control over network resources. Additionally, the University of Rajasthan is part of the National Knowledge Network (NKN), a nationwide initiative designed to provide ultra-high-speed internet connectivity to educational and research institutions across India. With speeds of 1 Gbps or higher, the NKN seamlessly integrates participating institutions, including prestigious universities and research centers, into a robust network infrastructure. The Infonet Centre ensures compliance with NKN's operational and security policies, harnessing its advanced capabilities to support higher knowledge, advanced studies, research development, and other academic endeavors. Through its collaboration with CWAN and NKN, the Infonet Centre reinforces its commitment to leveraging cutting-edge networking technologies for the benefit of the university community and beyond.
