Distance learning
A high-speed wireless network provides a vehicle
to enhance and extend the learning environment.
In higher education, students can access learning
portals, course information and online libraries as
well as collaborate with classmates and professors
on other campuses. K-12 facilities can give students
online access to class and individual lessons as well
as homework assignments, library services and more.
Live coverage of sporting events
Sporting events are an important aspect of every
school. The wireless network allows schools and
universities to enable easy and cost-effective viewing
of the event — live or streamed at a later date. In
addition, the National Collegiate Athletic Association
(NCAA) in the U.S. requires colleges and universities
in certain divisions to provide Internet access in the
press boxes. A wireless network eliminates the high
cost of cabling these often hard-to-wire areas and
provides the flexibility to move press areas as needed.
Says Dan Schumacher, Director of Athletics at Lewis
University, "It's more cost effective for us to have
wireless than to hard wire a press box 300 yards away
from the nearest building. Wireless is the answer."
Automated asset tracking
Wi-Fi locationing technology enables the automatic
tracking of assets — from laptop computers in K-12
to expensive medical equipment in a university. Now,
assets can be easily located when needed, potentially
reducing inventory requirements. Stolen assets are
instantly visible, providing a theft deterrent that
protects against equipment loss — and the resulting
negative impact on your budget.
2 SOLUTION BRIEF: Higher Education and K-12
Anytime, anywhere voice and
data access...for anyone
The ability to deliver truly resilient wireless voice
and data services to every corner of your campus
serves the needs of the student body as well as the
educational institution. Provide anytime anywhere
access to class registration systems, grades, learning
portals and student services as well as personal
services, such as VoIP and video services, meeting
the demands of your students and faculty. With
the real-time access to student transcripts, online
testing and grading applications as well as online
knowledge bases, your faculty has the tools required
to deliver an enriched learning experience as well as
improve productivity. You can even extend wireless
access to guests — from visiting professors to the
families of your students — without compromising
network security.
