The UAB campus occupies 90 city blocks and is comprised of 130+ buildings. Our university began work on the campus network in 1984 and we have been continuously involved in network upgrade projects since then.

There are two network service organizations.

• Health Systems Information Systems (HSIS) designs the network architecture and provides multiple services to the UAB Hospital and buildings where patient medical care is provided. 
  

• UAB Telecommunications Services designs the network architecture and provides network-related services to the UAB campus.  Telecommunications Services also provides access to the Internet, Internet2, and Alabama Research and Education Network for both the Health System and the campus.
