    THUS's next-generation network (NGN) solution will run between the University's thirteen campus locations including Guy's, St Thomas'

research excellence, as well as better access for professional services staff who manage operational applications and databases.

    King's College London is one of the top 25 universities in the world (Times Higher 2007) and the fourth oldest in England. A

    The College is in the top group of UK universities for research earnings and has an annual income of approximately �400 million. King's
has a particularly distinguished reputation in the humanities, law, social sciences, the health sciences, natural sciences and engineering,
and has played a major role in many of the advances that have shaped modern life, such as the discovery of the structure of DNA.

    The City Ethernet and Open Fibre network solution will offer King's College London improved reliability and scalability, while providing
a cost effective solution to the growing demands on the College network infrastructure. As well as supporting current research, teaching and
administration requirements including centralised applications, email and internet, the network solution will provide a platform to deliver
converged solutions in the future, such as video and VoIP. 

    Lynne Tucker, Chief Technology Officer at Kings College London commented: "Our world-class research needs to be supported by an industry
leading communication network and THUS's NGN solution offered everything we required today, with the potential to evolve and grow with the
demands the future will bring. This is a significant development in enhancing our capabilities."

number of years now and understands their unique needs. THUS's next-generation network is fast, economic and resilient and provides the
ideal platform for increased and enhanced research and academic collaboration".
