​University Installs State of the Art Wi-Fi to Attract New Students - Video Case Study

"Wireless connectivity has become an essential part of University life as it aids the teaching and social environment which enhances the user's experience. Good coverage, reliability, speed, connectivity and compatibility are important factors to sustaining student satisfaction while at the university,"

Minesh Chikniwala, Deputy CIO, University of Bedfordshire

AIT Partnership Group Ltd, the UKs leading integrator of enterprise wireless solutions has released their latest video case study. Presenting their innovative “Eduroam” solution the video demonstrates why and how Wi-Fi is used to create a better environment for students to attract new entrants to the University of Bedfordshire. 

Universities have to compete very hard to attract new students and maintain their funding. The AIT solution provides a great wireless experience for students, staff and visitors. It means they can stay connected whilst moving around the campus to download research or access social media.

As part of the UK University’s ambitious £115m expansion plans the new AIT solution uses  500 Aerohive  802.11ac access points in a controller-less WLAN integrated with ‘Eduroam’ authentication to enable staff, students and visitors seamless access to the network. The ability to roam, greater bandwidth, coverage and self-service provisioning of guest access have dramatically improved the user experience and reduced the number of support calls to the ICT service desk.

“AIT had the skills to install and configure the wireless network in a very short space of time. They have been a very professional partner throughout the project from start to finish, and we continue to work closely together on future strategic projects,” concluded Minesh.
