It also included building a full-coverage wireless network for teachers and students. 随着该地区探索各种选择, it discovered Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise switches and wireless access points delivered the most advanced technology at the lowest bid.
Challenges
班戈地区学区’s network needed to be updated to meet the needs of modern teaching and learning methods, including high bandwidth low latency performance. 每个教室都有开关, network support placed an unreasonable burden on a limited IT staff of three. 除了, the district wanted to offer a robust wireless network for students, teachers and staff to keep up with the use of wireless devices. Ultimately, the district wanted to address the “always on” expectations of the network for its users.
