The Campus Networking Centre is responsible for managing all networking and system-related requirements across the campus. It ensures seamless connectivity by providing both wired and Wi-Fi internet and intranet access to all users within the institute.
To secure and efficiently manage internet services, the campus utilizes the SOPHOS XGS 5500 as the Unified Threat Management (UTM) solution. This next-generation firewall delivers robust user authentication and administrative control over internet usage.
The Sophos XGS Firewall introduces a modern, intelligent approach to network security. It can detect and respond to threats in real-time, offering unmatched visibility into network activity, including risky users, unknown or unwanted applications, advanced threats, suspicious payloads, and encrypted traffic.
These capabilities empower the institute to defend against ransomware, data breaches, and other sophisticated cyber threats, ensuring a secure and reliable digital environment for all campus stakeholders.
TKM College of Engineering (TKMCE) has implemented a cutting-edge, ultra high-speed networking infrastructure to meet the growing digital demands of modern education and research. The new setup features a comprehensive edge-to-edge fiber optic backbone delivering 10 Gbps connectivity across the entire campus.
These access points support the latest Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) standards, delivering enhanced speed, capacity, and efficiency—ideal for high-density academic environments.
This state-of-the-art infrastructure ensures high availability, scalability, and security, empowering TKMCE to support digital learning, research collaboration, and administrative efficiency with future-ready technology.
TKM College of Engineering (TKMCE) ensures reliable and high-speed internet access through a dedicated 1 Gbps (1:1) leased line over fiber-optic connectivity, provided by BSNL. This WAN link delivers consistent performance for all academic, research, and administrative activities across the campus.
TKMCE is a fully Wi-Fi enabled campus, offering seamless wireless connectivity to all registered users. Students, faculty, and staff can access the internet from anywhere within the campus premises.
To maintain network integrity and prevent unauthorized access, MAC address filtering is implemented as a security measure, ensuring that only approved devices can connect to the campus Wi-Fi network.
The TKMCE Software Repository is a curated collection of licensed software tools that bridge the gap between academic learning and industry requirements. It empowers students and faculty with access to cutting-edge technologies, fostering innovation, skill development, and industry readiness.
This comprehensive suite supports a wide range of academic disciplines, including engineering design, simulation, programming, database management, and system administration.
TKMCE is committed to providing students with exposure to the latest technological innovations. By integrating industry-standard tools into the curriculum, we encourage students to develop practical skills and become well-rounded, industry-ready professionals.
The server infrastructure at TKM College of Engineering (TKMCE) is designed to ensure robust performance, high availability, and secure management of campus-wide IT services. The Campus Networking Centre (CNC) operates a combination of rack-mounted and tower-type servers, catering to various critical functions including hosting, authentication, and data management.
These servers are powered by Intel Xeon-based high-performance processors, optimized for multi-user environments and capable of handling complex computational tasks and high network traffic loads.
This enterprise-grade server infrastructure plays a pivotal role in maintaining the reliability, security, and efficiency of TKMCE's digital ecosystem.
