Nine Information Technology officials drawn from the ABIIT, the Antigua State College, the Hospitality Training Institute, the Five Islands Campus of the University were invited to Cabinet to address the requirements of the UWI in the provision of bandwidth\u00a0in order for the University to function.<\/p>\n

He said new cables, switches and other equipment are required in order to bring the campuses in-line with the UWI requirements.<\/p>\n

“The Cabinet gave the assurance that all will be done to make the campuses compliant with the requirement. APUA and the Ministry of Information will begin the necessary collaboration in order to achieve the goal,” the Chief of Staff reported.<\/p>
