The university and Block focused on deploying a modern, cloud-managed residential network during eight days of the Easter holidays. This included:
We built on the cloud-managed network during the summer holidays by deploying high speed connectivity across 1,200 residential rooms. Now, students can securely connect multiple devices through a self-service onboarding portal, which quickly authenticates using university credentials. The result is a much better digital experience for students as well as stronger BYOD defences.
Faced with a small time window to make big changes?
We deploy network infrastructure in immovable delivery windows.
