Objective: 
Leading science and technology university, the Swiss 
Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Zurich) wanted 
to provide its 19,000 students and staff with the 
convenience of easily accessible and secure wireless 
networking. 
Approach:
ETH Zurich installed 1,150 HP ProCurve wireless 
• 
access points around its 164 buildings.
Configured a large number of Virtual Local Area 
• 
Networks (VLANs) using HP ProCurve MSM422 
Access Points and HP ProCurve MSM750 Access 
Controllers. 
IT improvements: 
 Centrally managed access points with local 
traffic-forwarding, eliminate the need to replace 
controllers when new access points become 
available.
Over 250 VLANs have been created which allow 
users to be automatically connected to their home 
VLANs for greater convenience and security.
HP ProCurve MSM422 Access Points support faster 
throughout and higher bandwidth.  
 
Business outcomes: 
The ablility to remove controllers from the data 
path reduces capital expenditure costs for 
hardware upgrades by $70,000 USD.
Mobile computing enables students and staff to 
work wherever they are, increasing productivity 
and efficiency.
The HP ProCurve comprehensive Lifetime 
Warranty
 eliminates unexpected capital costs  
and supports more effective budgeting.
“The flexibility of HP ProCurve wireless access points means we can just 
grow with the technology and our rate of change is much quicker because 
we do not have to buy new controllers. This saves a lot of work and will 
also save us $70,000 USD in capital expenditure costs.” Derk Valenkamp, 
team leader for ITS data and voice communication, ETH Zurich

Leading Swiss University, ETH Zurich saves 
$70,000 USD with HP ProCurve wireless 
access technology
With 12,000 students and 7,000 staff, the Swiss 
Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Zurich) is an 
internationally renowned science and technology 
university with an outstanding research record. 
Twenty-one Nobel Prize Laureates have studied, 
taught or carried out their research at ETH Zurich, 
which has 16 departments where 370 professors 
teach subjects including engineering, sciences, 
architecture and mathematics.
Founded in 1855, ETH Zurich is based on two main 
campuses in Zurich, comprising 164 buildings both 
on its principal sites and at other smaller locations. 
The main buildings are interconnected with fibre 
links and smaller satellite offices have ADSL 
connectivity. 
Vital security
To meet the mobile computing needs of so many 
students and staff spread over so many sites, ETH 
Zurich needed to implement a flexible wireless 
network that would combine ease of access, security 
and scalability. Another requirement was the scope
