Access Grid Node

Access Grid Node (AGN) is an emerging video conferencing platform, providing multiple video streams between multiple sites. Multiple video streams allow for greater audience presence, sharing of computer presentations, and other application displays. Due to the technical nature of AGN, an operator is required for each session. E-mail Scott Christensen or call 243-5322 for additional details.

There is one room that is administered by IT on campus: SS 127.
