Innovative IT solutions from a single source

The entire network-based communication infrastructure of the university is organisationally united at the computer centre and can be operated accordingly in a synergetic manner. The wireless network and the current further development of the telephone system in the direction of internet technology are visible successes on the way to an integrated infrastructure.

Our staff are available to provide advice and support on all questions relating to information technology with a comprehensive range of advisory and support services.

Through our own research at the Chair of Communication Systems, we are IT innovators and involved in a large number of research projects. Pioneering technologies are thus quickly recognised and can be immediately implemented as new services. The Computer Centre thus meets the requirements of a university of excellence and contributes to the international competitiveness of the Albert-Ludwigs University with the personal commitment of its staff and its range of services.
