eCorridors
The eCorridors team's mission is to create competive advantage by facilitating the deployment of advanced network infrastructure and applications leveraging inter-regional connectivity for communities.

NetworkVirginia^ng
NetworkVirginia^ng is an advanced, broadband network delivering Internet and intranet services statewide.

LMDS
The Local Multipoint Distribution Service (LMDS) spectrum represents the largest block of spectrum ever auctioned and Virginia Tech was the only university that participated as a bidder in the auction. LMDS enables wireless communications at gigabit speeds - thousands of times faster than most current communications systems for "last-mile" voice and data services.

Wireless Campus Infrastructure
The intent for the wireless campus infrastructure project is that Communications Network Services, a division of Network Infrastructure and Services, will enter into a long-term relationship with a qualified carrier and its equipment and content partners in order to deliver state-of-the-art wireless voice, data, and Internet services as well as unified messaging on and off campus, in order to improve teaching and learning, and to enhance research.
