CASE STUDY: Dublin City Uni

• Increasing student population, plus growth in interactive

education using multimedia applications

•Existing wireless network unable to handle the

additional traffic (bottlenecks)

•Assessed solutions from several leading vendors,

chose Motorola’s WiNG 5 WLAN, 165 AP’s

• Intelligent, dynamic routing enables bandwidth intensive

applications to run smoothly, even on multiple machines

and during peak periods

SOLUTION VALUE

•Retrieve data, browse Internet on the move

•Eduroam: Students & staff access the Internet &

interact with international research & communities

•Visiting lecturers given guest access without

compromising security

•User prevention from accessing undesirable sites

“Our decision to implement

this next generation

network provides us with a

solid infrastructure for

integrated services and

allows us to take advantage

of the latest applications to

deliver interactive and

advanced learning

materials to students in a

stimulating way.”

James Healy

Network Manager

PROBLEM

MOTOROLA SOLUTION



CASE STUDY: Hazelgrove

•Hazlegrove an independent day & boarding school

•Off-the shelf wireless network, failed frequently,

meaning that time was wasted in lessons

•Wanted to connect more iPads and iPhones

•AP 6511 802.11n WallPlate Access Points

•Day to install 18 access points using existing data

sockets, no need to introduce new cabling

SOLUTION VALUE

• ICT manager no longer worries about the network

•Big difference to lessons, teachers can plan a lesson

based around use of the internet in confidence

•Network scalable, so more access points and

devices can be added as needed

•Students who board can access the network in their

own time outside school hours

“ I’ve not had one instance

where I’ve had to go and

reboot an individual point.

We have half an hour in a

lesson, and from the

moment the children pull

out their iPads they can get

going and connect to the

internet. It’s been

absolutely flawless.”

Lee Andrews

ICT Systems Manager

PROBLEM

MOTOROLA SOLUTION



CASE STUDY: Keller ISD, TX

One of the fastest-growing school districts in Texas

with 36 schools serving more than 30,000 students.

It needed district-wide high speed wireless coverage

and to establish the district as a technology leader

802.11n WLAN (631 dual-radio, 211 Tri-radio, 3

RFS7000s, AirDefense WIPS + Advanced

Troubleshooting)

SOLUTION VALUE

Upgraded existing wireless infrastructure providing

spotty coverage with high-speed campus-wide

coverage across the entire district providing robust

multimedia (Safari Montage) support for 40 laptops

from a single access point in classrooms

“It’s a two-way partnership.

Motorola knows the

technology and we know

the instruction. You meet in

the middle and you come

together as partners. It’s a

great, great feeling for a

school superintendent to

have that level of

partnership.”

-James Veitenheimer,

Keller ISD superintendent

PROBLEM

MOTOROLA SOLUTION



ADDRESSING THE CHALLENGES

EDUCATION FACE

1. Supports many users and devices per AP,

including real time video and voice

• Motorola set the Guinness World Record

2. Central management without central

bottleneck of central point of failure

• Motorola’s WiNG 5 exceeds requirements

3. Plug & Play and Self Healing Network

• Motorola’s SmartRF automatically configures APs into the

network and will self heal if one fails of if there is RF

interference

4. Site survivability, ensuring classes continue

without access to central controller

• Motorola’s distributed intelligence empowers the access

points to continue operating independently
