Challenge:
Today’s college and university campuses can range from a few
buildings to hundreds, and often serve populations the size of
small cities. Until recently, each building management
function required a separate network, resulting in a
complex and costly environment to operate and maintain.
Institutions of higher education are beginning to deliver all
building services over a single, centrally managed campus data
network which requires a large data pipe to support.
In addition, faculty and students are more dependent on
computer systems and applications. Even basic email, which began
with short text messages, now occupies multiple megabytes of
graphics and video. New applications from e-learning to
scientific research studies are now exceeding the capacity of
most wireless systems on campus. As new buildings are
added, the existing infrastructure cannot support.
Solution:
The AireBeamTM
Gig-E wireless solutions connect into the
secure, resilient, high-speed network backbone running through
the core of all buildings on campus. Rayawave can enable
local school districts, universities, and research groups
maximize the use of their resources and interconnect various
campus buildings at the highest speed and lowest cost.
