  3. Vision Statement • To develop a Catholic Education Network (CathEdNet) in Western Australia that will: • Support teaching and learning • Provide secure communication services • Have a high degree of flexibility, and • Provide equitable access.

  4. CathEdNet established in 2002 The CathEdNet virtual private network (VPN) provides: • Broadband - Fast Speed Access - Metro Schools (optic fibre -10Mb, copper 2Mb) - 112 schools - Regional Schools (optic fibre - 2Mb, copper 1Mb) - 43 schools - Desert schools (satellite 512k/128k) - 9 schools Optic fibre is scalable up to 1Gb, copper is scalable up to 4Mb, satellite is currently scalable to 800k/128k. We are investigating the use of Next G and WAN acceleration technologies for the satellite schools to improve traffic congestion. • Free local & STD calls with analogue or VoIP within the VPN (it is a data and communication package/VPN) • Free download costs once sites are cached within the VPN • Connectivity, enables collaboration and the formation of partnerships and resource sharing to occur between schools and Notre Dame

  6. BUSH SCHOOLS’ NETWORK The Bush Schools Network is another layer to CathEdNet Ninety (90) schools participating in the project a network of people rather than a physical network like CathEdNet. The purpose of BSN is to provide advice on ICT Infrastructure, and to help schools achieve a standard ICT environment This project is supported by funding from the Australian Government under the Clever Networks program.

  7. $1M is available from the Australian Government under the Clever Networks program to spend upgrading school LANs to bring them up to industry standard. • For schools who have adequate ICT support, we are issuing them with LAN Management software to give them greater control over their network. • For schools with no ICT support we offer the same tools and a helpdesk which can interact over CathEdNet or a VPN connection to give the school real time support … in other words we can fix in up online.
