The Deanship of Information Technology, in cooperation with the General Administration of Relations and Warehouses Management, has signed an agreement with a leading company in the field of providing network phones, under which the company will provide the necessary technologies to provide 10,000 network phones (IP Telephony) that work through the network according to the (VoIP) protocol, thus enhancing communication inside and outside the university institution.
This technology shortcuts the delivery of telephony to all areas of the university without the need to provide a separate telephony network, instead relying on the same computer network as the university.
Through this project, it is expected that all the university's geographical locations spread in the governorates of Qassim will be connected through a single telephone connection, as there are 37 colleges, 11 deanships and one institute, in addition to the various university administrations.
For his part, Dr. Adel Al-Oraini, Dean of the Deanship of Information Technology, said that this project came to enhance communication, which is in line with one of the goals of the Saudi Vision 2030, which is (supporting communication channels with citizens and the business community) within the main goal (enhancing the effectiveness of government).
He added that the Unified Communication Department, in cooperation with the Networks Department and the Technical Support Department, is working to deploy network phones for all faculty members and employees at the university in all their locations, as the university is keen to provide this service because of its benefits to the university community.
Al-Oraini said that this service enables users to receive external communication directly without the need to go through the central station, and communication in the internal shunt is carried out regardless of the geographical location of the requested shunt.
Network phones are connected via a network cable, without the need for an additional network point; the computer is connected to an additional cable provided with the network phone.
