UC network upgrade planned in May
The University of Cincinnati's network connection to OARnet, its internet service provider, will undergo overnight maintenance twice in May — 2 a.m. Wednesday, May 4, and 2 a.m. Sunday, May 8.
No interruptions to network service are planned or expected as part of these necessary equipment upgrades.
The planned network upgrade is part of a larger initiative to increase UC's digital capability and pave the way for the next generation of research at the university.
