CUTTING-EDGE CLASSROOMS
NETWORKING LAB
The FBIT Networking lab was built to support the Cisco
Networking Academy curriculum, which uses advanced
networking equipment to teach concepts ranging from
fundamental networking skills up to enterprise level network
engineering. Some of the devices in the lab include Cisco
2800 and 2900 ISR routers, Cisco 2500 and 2600 branch
routers, Cisco Catalyst 2960 and 3560 switches with PoE,
Cisco lightweight wireless access points and WLAN controllers,
Cisco IP phones, ADTRAN WAN/PSTN simulators, as well
as a variety of hardware and software to support the latest
networking technologies.

HACKER RESEARCH LAB

12 This dedicated space is a network-equipped lab that houses
devices such as servers, firewalls, and routers. Faculty
members conduct a variety of IT security research projects,
including network intrusion prevention, detection, and reaction,
mitigation of denial-of-service (DoS) and distributed DoS
attacks, interconnection protocols, security and privacy,
services computing, business process integration, and
electronic negotiation and agreement

The lab has 24 host computers which consist of dedicated

servers, workstations, laptops as well as handheld devices
running under a number of platforms. Planned enhancements

able to say in an interview that you’ve already used the equipment and simulated similar network environments. Our
practical knowledge shows employers we’re ready to hit the ground running.”

– Joseph Harry, Bachelor of Information Technology (Honours) in Networking and IT Security, class of 2010

HANDS-ON EXPERIENCE
GAMING LAB
As part of the Game Development and Entrepreneurship
program, a lab dedicated to the study and development of
games and game technology has been developed. The Gaming
lab consists of 30 state-of-the art workstations, a full-body
motion capture system and a laser scanner. A passive stereo
virtual reality display utilizes the motion-capture system as a
body tracker and gesture-based input device. This enables
the exploration of new input methodologies, full-body gesture
recognition and multi-player collaboration. An audiometric room
coupled with audio recording equipment enables students to
record sound for voice-overs and music with minimal echo or
background noise.

HEALTH INFORMATICS LABORATORY 13

In support of the field of Information Science, students will
have access to the newly established Health Informatics lab.
This lab supports fundamental and applied research within
the health informatics domain, with a focus on its ability to
simulate current and proposed next generation functions
within Intensive Care Units (ICUs) and specifically Neonatal
ICUs (NICUs). No similar innovative advanced prototyping
and simulation environment to support next generation health
informatics solutions exists in the world.

The Health Informatics lab contains three medical devices

used within ICUs together with a range of small fanless PCs,
laptop PCs, personal digital assistants (PDAs) and computer
servers. The small fanless PCs, laptop PCs and PDAs will
simulate functions relating to data collection units, NICU
control stations, specialist workstations, remote access
specialist workstations and/or the referral control centre. The
environment will be configured to enable the simulation of a
range of scenarios incorporating ICUs, remote hospitals, a
referral control centre together with specialist remote access.
