Voice and Data Rates Catalog

The funding model for Voice & Data has recently changed. Beginning in FY22, basic service for both Voice & Data are considered common utilities and are therefore covered by the Cost Allocation Model (CAM). As a result, voice and data requests will no longer incur one-time charges.

Because CIT provides monthly bills with a list of the active services for your department, new voice and data requests will require an account number, for tracking purposes, even when there is no cost.

RingCentral soft clients do not have monthly recurring charges. If your department has converted its phones to RingCentral, you will see monthly charges only for physical phones. Note that remaining Avaya phone sets are being phased out and replaced with RingCentral.

Call management and infrastructure engineering requests will be billed as time and materials (see below).

In order to effectively manage the campus IT infrastructure, CIT may reclaim data circuits if they are unused for more than 12 months. If that data connection is needed again in the future, CIT can reactivate the jack at no charge.

For new connections and requests for changes in service, department telecom coordinators and network administrators can email ncs-os@cornell.edu or call 607-255-5500, then select option 2.
