The concept of a “Connected Campus” is no longer a futuristic vision but a reality.
Today’s college students are incredibly tech savvy, quickly moving from one task to the next and expecting instantaneous responses. They, as well as faculty, need access to materials and each other whenever and however they want.
Connectivity is the critical piece for today’s universities to help solve the digital divide. From large state campuses to rural universities in smaller communities, secure, seamless access is essential moving forward. This also includes supporting high-bandwidth mobile applications, artificial intelligence, virtual reality, as well as the latest developments in Wi-Fi connectivity.
