Network Maintenance

A well-maintained network is essential for seamless internet access, academic research, online learning, and administrative tasks at Rajarata University. To support staff and students, we provide structured maintenance services and a streamlined process for reporting network-related issues.

Types of Network Maintenance

Our network maintenance activities fall into the following categories:

Preventive Maintenance – Regular inspections, firmware updates, and performance monitoring to prevent potential network failures.

Corrective Maintenance – Troubleshooting and resolving network outages, slow connections, or security threats when they arise.

Upgrades and Expansions – Enhancing network capacity, deploying new technologies, and improving infrastructure.

Emergency Maintenance – Immediate response to critical failures such as network downtime, cybersecurity incidents, or hardware malfunctions.
