Cisco Mobility Solutions for the 21st Century University:
Higher Education in Motion

Challenge

Today’s college and university students are dynamic, mobile, and technology-savvy. They arrive

on campus with an array of mobility-enabled devices including PDAs, gaming devices, cameras,

phones, and laptops. At home they roam wirelessly—downloading music, chatting, texting, and

sharing videos on YouTube. This connected generation is untethered from wires. On campus, they

expect, and sometimes even demand, wireless LAN access. For this student generation in motion,

the air is the Internet.

The mobility solutions implemented by higher education institutions must meet the needs of this

mobile generation while cost-effectively addressing the requirements of their faculty, staff,

administrators, and visitors:

●

Students use the wireless LAN to access social networking sites such as Facebook and

download course materials. Student also use the wireless LAN to perform administrative

tasks (including dealing with registration, grades, parking), and to access the Internet.

●

Faculty is exploring mobility solutions that enhance the learning experience (in-class

polling, sharing media, online resources) and that assist with research (for instance, field

data collection). Faculty members also use wireless networks to streamline administrative

tasks, support easy access to websites, alert students about class cancellations or grades,

and improve class collaboration.

●

Administrators and staff see wireless networking as a means to improve campus operations

and enhance productivity with mobile access to communication planning tools, such as

email, instant messaging and calendars. Administrators also see the wireless network as a

way to reduce operational costs and increase campus safety and security.

●

Visitors such as prospective students, alumni, parents, visiting lecturers, and conference

attendees need secure wireless access to engage collaboratively and access off-campus

resources.

The challenge for colleges and universities is to create a robust, end-to-end, mobility-enabled

network that supports their unique needs and requirements, and to do so within their budgets.

Colleges and universities need a wireless network that supports the following:

●

Easy maintenance and security for local and remote campus sites

●

Scalable architecture to support new campus buildings and remodeling

●

Built-in support for bandwidth-intensive, high-speed applications such as video streaming,

video-on-demand, and multimedia

●

Simplified tools to support the wave of new mobile devices arriving on campus, some of

which are 100 percent wireless, with no wired port
