The Challenge
Future-Proofing Connectivity for GrowthThe campus relied on outdated coax-fed DAS that could no longer support its growing demands. The network team sought a solution that could enhance connectivity, prepare for 5G, and support future expansions—all while being cost-effective and durable enough to handle large-scale deployments across diverse environments. Frequent dropped calls and unreliable cellular service disrupted daily operations across the campus, necessitating a robust and scalable infrastructure upgrade.
Key Needs:
Reliable connectivity across 19+ buildings
Scalable infrastructure for future growth
Support for long-distance connections across the 200+ acre campus
Simplified installation and maintenance
