Education

When it comes to technology, the field of education is seeing tremendous, rapid growth. The push is on to make computers and tablets available to all students and staff for everyday use. With the availability of this technology comes the appetite for bandwidth.

K-12 schools and districts as well as higher education facilities are seeing the need to deploy high-capacity connectivity between their buildings on and off campus. In the college environment, students living in on-campus housing are using their Internet connections for social media and entertainment in addition to their educational needs.

An outside fixed wireless network is an excellent option for connecting these locations. Installing a wireless unit on each building will allow the seamless flow of data, voice and video traffic without the recurring costs of fiber optic circuits.

Some Wireless Benefits:

• The distribution of Internet access to all facilities and users.
• Implementation of cloud-based services.
• Access to distance learning programs.
• The ability to perform video conferencing.
• Centralize video surveillance.
• Disaster recovery capabilities.
• Deploying VoIP for voice communications within the campus network.

With guaranteed high throughput and latency comparable to fiber, an outdoor wireless network will provide a secure, reliable and easily deployable system that will pay for itself in months when compared to a fiber deployment.
