UBC Net is the standard UBC network on campus.  Such data networks have become critical to the daily operation of all UBC departments and faculties. It is important to have a network that properly meets your department or faculties’ needs whether that means added security, increased speed, or being cost effective. UBC IT can help design your departmental LAN.

The University of British Columbia has one of the most advanced IT networks in North America. There are more than 100,000 data ports at over 400 buildings at UBC. The majority of building data ports are linked at speeds of up to 1,000Mbps and most buildings are linked at speeds of up to 10Gbps. A number of buildings are currently being upgraded to 40Gbps links to the overall campus network.

If there is existing data cabling on an existing IT outlet, UBC IT can connect up a data port to the UBC campus data network. Similarly, if there is existing coax cabling on an existing IT outlet, UBC IT can connect up a TV port to the UBC campus CATV network. Cost and effort required to make these connections is different in almost any situation so please contact us for more information.

UBC Information Technology, in partnership with Rogers Cable, offers cable television in some student residences and many administrative buildings on campus. 

Students, faculty, and residents have the option of subscribing to Rogers Cable services, including HDTV, Pay Per View, and Video on Demand. 

To access UBC/Rogers digital cable TV services, a Rogers digital terminal is required.
