BRIEF HISTORY
The Internet Node of Negros Oriental State University was established on July 16, 1996 with a 64Kbps Internet Backbone Link to Global Systems Interconnection (an Internet Service Provider based in Cebu City). NORSU was the pioneer of Internet services in Negros Oriental. This project was materialized through the efforts of the Information Technology Office. The purpose of the project is to provide research and communication tool/facilities to the students of the University.
With the continuing demand from the other government agencies like the Department of Science and Technology and the Department of Trade and Industry and the community, Internet services were extended to the outside community.
Negros Oriental State University- CIS Office accepts subscribers from the public and private schools, business institutions, organizations of all kinds, government and non – government agencies and individuals.
In October of 1997, the Internet backbone was transferred from Global Systems Interconnect to SkyInternet Inc. then to Infocom Technologies in March, 1999 and to Fil-Products Television Inc. in 2011 which provides both the Fiber Optic technology and Internet services.
At present, NORS is a pioneer in the province to have a network infrastructure known as “One NORSU One Network” that aims to interconnect all campuses into one network with Fiber Optic cable as the network backbone for the local loop and for the internet leased line connection.
As a leader in innovation, the NORSU-CIS Office has served its faculty, staff, students and the people of Negros Oriental by providing them reliable and fast access to the Information Superhighway.
