IT FIGURES
Widening Bandwidth
There may be a lot of uncertainty in higher education today, but one undeniable fact is that students
are putting a higher demand on - and having higher
expectations for - online connectivity across campus. The evidence is as plain as the screen just a few
inches in front of their noses. It's also displayed in the
2018 ACUHO-I State of the ResNet survey results.

which jumped more than 11 percent. When looking
at bandwidth usage by application, it's little surprise
that TV and video leads the way with more than 88
percent, while video gaming increased by more than
6 percent. Down near the bottom of that list: online
learning tools, digital textbooks, and e-books.
With surveys submitted from 312 United States
institutions, the report looks at the services and support provided to on-campus residence halls for Wi-Fi,
Internet, cable television, Internet-Protocol television, and phone service. Among the findings is that
campuses increasingly are adding outdoor wireless
coverage in their residential areas and that 80 percent
of campuses surveyed now provide robust wireless
coverage for between 81 and 100 percent of their
student areas. In addition, 82 percent of campuses
include Ethernet in their new construction for faster
bandwidth. Only 11 percent cap bandwidth (though
many schools do optimize their bandwidth by implementing strategies such as blocking peer-to-peer
services). Finally, almost half the technology officers
surveyed feared that capital funding may affect how
they have to manage their network in the future.

were smartphones, with an increase of almost 11 percent from 2017. Also becoming a larger factor were
