TransNet Wins $1,850,000 in IT and VoIP Awards from New Jersey Regional High School District
By Anil Sharma, TMCnet Contributing Editor
TransNet Corporation, a unified communications and IT sales and service provider, has recieved a $1.85 million contract from a large New Jersey regional high school district for network upgrades and telephony.
The contract includes design services and implementation of data network upgrades and advanced voice over IP  technologies. Deployment of the contract will occur over the next two quarters.
"TransNet is proud of this project, which combines significant upgrades while addressing concerns of educators, parents and to the business community: lowered operating expenses, broader availability of technology-driven services, and greater security for both the network and people”, said Steven J. Wilk, president of TransNet, in a statement.
"The new telephony solution will employ the latest Voice-over-IP (VoIP ) technology from Cisco ( News - Alert) Systems, Inc. This solution provides technological advancement in a sophisticated new system that costs less to operate than the one it replaces. The return on investment realized through immediate savings in operating costs was well received by district officials.”
. Wilk said that voice mail would now be available for all teaching staff, facilitating interaction among staff and parents.
He said that automated outbound dialing will provide notification to the community about such matters as snow days, event cancellations, or the steps being taken to protect their students in any emergency. The current system for outbound dialing incurs costs with each usage. The new system is part of the overall VoIP solution and can be used without surcharge.
Wilk said that upgrading the Local Area Network (LAN ) is another important component of the project because it enables the delivery of the other elements in these initiatives. The new LAN design allows for system management from a central location, providing ease of management and maintenance, and higher availability of the system. This is increasingly important as all enterprises place more and more critical operations onto their networks and the new systems improve responsiveness to threats, simple breakdowns, and maintenance.
