Coventry University Case Study
Network Solution
One of the fruits of the Coventry-Cisco partnership has been the adoption of Cisco’s Connected
Learning solution by the University. Encapsulated in the University’s SMART-Campus@CU strategy,
this aims to improve the student experience, ensure quality education, expand applied research, and
increase business efficiency and sustainable growth. The foundation for this is a Cisco IP network
infrastructure connecting – wired and wirelessly – Coventry University Campus sites and buildings.
One of the key features of the Cisco infrastructure is the high-performance, corporate-class network
it provides, delivering the same performance and security capabilities typically found only in
commercial organisations.

The University has already started to realise some elements of SMART-Campus@CU by using the
Cisco network to give students, staff and clients global 24 hour access to a host of resources such as
virtual learning environments, libraries and ubiquitous Internet access. But it is Coventry’s vision for,
and investment in, the Cisco infrastructure as the foundation for change that is set to transform
Coventry as a University.

Coventry as a University.
A key part of SMART-Campus@ CU is
enabling workforce mobility and enabling
learning and teaching to take place anytime
anywhere. Applications that Coventry is
looking to run over the Cisco infrastructure
include voice over IP and collaboration tools
will help to increase lecturer and student
communication and interaction. This kind of
application will also help fulfill the University’s
ambition to improve work-life balance by
increasing home and remote working.

ambition to improve work-life balance by

The network will help create a highly secure Campus both electronically and physically. Cisco
security technologies – including network access control for thousands of laptops and the ability to
automatically predict and prevent threats and provide real-time monitoring of network activity - are
being deployed to help Coventry achieve a business-class, self-defending network. This will also
enable Coventry to make its education resources more open and available to those in and out side
the Campus without compromising data integrity.

Another key element of the SMART-Campus@CU vision is transforming Campus and building
management. The Cisco IP network provides the foundation for integrating a host of systems and
applications for reducing carbon footprint, maximising energy use and making facility management
much more efficient and cost effective. The University is planning to use the Cisco network to deploy
a smart card door access system and IP-based CCTV monitoring. The University – which is investing
£160 million in redevelopment – will be able to manage its buildings more efficiently by using the
Cisco infrastructure to control heating, lighting and ventilation in buildings at any location remotely.
Lighting, for example, in a single classroom or across the whole Campus spanning several locations
can be centrally managed and automated helping the University to reduce electricity use significantly.

Because the Cisco infrastructure provides a single platform for all kinds of services and functions
departments, such as facilities management and academic faculties that where traditionally
separate, are starting to look at how they can work together to improve and streamline processes to
deliver economies of scale and more efficient management.

The Cisco TelePresence Meeting solution is being used in a collaborative project between Coventry
and a partner institution, with other associated higher education bodies looking at how they can
leverage this technology to improve inter-University communication.

Business Results
Latham believes that through its vision and partnerships with organisations like Cisco, Coventry
University will see a number of business benefits, including increasing value for money, increasing
return on investment and reducing costs. But he sees even greater benefit from education,
organisational and management transformation. Coventry is building an environment that supports
students throughout the entire lifecycle of their education, from selecting a University, attending,
graduating, and becoming an alumni.
