Net alert! SCD's Network Engineering and Telecommunications Section (NETS) supports over 117 logical networks, approximately 210 monitorable network devices, and more than 3,000 network-attached devices at NCAR/UCAR. The section recently added telecommunications to its list of services -- and its name -- when the function was moved from the Information Technology division in UCAR Finance and Administration to NETS.

The "net" expansion was motivated by on the fact that the two groups work together and support each other's efforts in engineering and installation projects. Also, data and voice communication technologies are converging and may soon lose their separate identities.

For more information, see the SCD networking page and the Network Engineering and Telecommunications home page.
