A typical college student today brings eight or nine wireless devices to their college residence hall—whereas a few years ago that number may have been more like two or three. This trend is rising semester after semester as gaming consoles, tablets, speakers, laptops, smart TVs, wireless printers, and wearables become more commoditized, placing a strain on the campus network.
WiFi and Content Programming are no longer a “nice to have” but are critical components to remaining competitive and ensuring a positive guest experience. We take a holistic approach to designing high-performing, reliable and stable networks with the ability to handle the growing number of connected devices from end users.

The question ringing in every Director of Residential Life’s ears is not often followed by an answer that an internet-hungry, tech-dependent college student wants to hear. For years, the demand on networks across colleges and universities has been growing at a pace that few institutions are able to meet.
The growing number of Internet-connected devices, the introduction of Internet-dependent classroom tools, and the bandwidth consumed by non-educational resources have contributed to the strain on these networks. All the while, administrators are battling budget constraints, Campus IT is stretched thing, and ResLife Directors know that student connectivity and feature-rich solutions are high on the college evaluation list.
