Education Solutions
College Campuses

The Education industry addresses the requirements for wireless coverage and capacity for college and higher education venues.  ADC’s combination of wireless products provides an effective, end-to-end solution for college campuses which is illustrated in the application below.

Faculty, staff and student communities are increasingly frustrated with poor wireless communications in and around campus complexes as they are living in a world of constant connectivity. In an era where mobile communications should be clear and always on, the sometimes spotty coverage in campus buildings and on the grounds is becoming unacceptable.

Often, one of the biggest roadblocks to cellular coverage is the universities’ historic concrete structures themselves. Constructed with concrete block, masonry, steel and copper, these engineering marvels were not built with consideration for future RF signals and fiber optic cables.  Their subterranean spaces and bunker-like constructions were ideal for quiet classrooms and high traffic. Who knew they would one day absorb and impede wireless signals?  These types of facilities have proven difficult for wireless communications as mobile users lose calls walking through doors and in and out of classrooms throughout the campus.

ADC offers a variety of coverage and capacity solutions that can provide ubiquity of voice and data service throughout a campus.  For outdoor coverage, the FlexWave™ Universal Radio Head (URH) provides continuity of coverage throughout the campus for faculty and students - in stadiums and other areas near buildings where there may be coverage holes. For in-building coverage, the InterReach Fusion®,Unison®, or ICS products offer continuous and strategic locations coverage in hard-to-reach areas such as tunnels and lower levels of classroom and dormitory facilities.   Together, FlexWave and InterReach solutions deliver seamless service for outdoor, near-building and in-building areas while protecting the visual integrity of the campus.
