Wi-Fi and Small Cell wireless networks are ubiquitous on college campuses and residence halls. Full-campus installations challenge the network designer and installer because wireless service is required in such diverse settings as classrooms, libraries, laboratories, administration buildings, residence halls, auditoriums, stadiums and outdoor areas.
Adding complexity to the network design process, these facilities are comprised of many types of construction, including historically and architecturally sensitive buildings, older construction residence halls, high-density classrooms and auditoriums, and outdoor campus areas.
The wireless network is an essential part of educational programming and administration and is used for campus-wide notification, IoT and research.
