CHALLENGE
Vilshofen selected TP-Link in December 2020 to provide a reliable networking solution to rebuild its network that would solve the following problems:
- Provides powerful and stable Internet access to all students, faculty, staff and visitors, especially on event days and during activities.
- Supply the WLAN radio holes without laying a network cable.
- Simple and centralized management by an IT representative.
- Two separate networks, one for students and the other for teachers and administrators.
- High network requirements had to be met despite a limited budget.
SOLUTION
TP-Link offered a suitable network solution that met all the requirements and also overcame the inconveniences that COVID-19 brought.
NETWORK INSTALLATION
Sixty EAP245, MU-MIMO dual-band ceiling-mounted APs provide a wide-area WLAN network in every classroom, conference room and office. The mesh function makes it possible to extend WLAN coverage effortlessly to WLAN wireless holes without additional cabling.
Happy high performance
The entire school benefits from stable and reliable WLAN connections when moving between classrooms and offices. With a faster and more stable network, teachers have moved even more to digital materials.
Secure, individualized access for teachers and students
Multiple SSIDs and VLAN capabilities personalize the network experience for teachers, staff and students by enforcing specific access policies that protect all private and sensitive data.
Simple and centrally managed
An OC200 centrally manages all EAPs. The network administrator can monitor network traffic in real time and easily assign configurations to EAPs on a group-by-group basis. In addition, no special training or maintenance is required to manage the network thanks to the user-friendly interface.
Punctual and reliable
Even under the conditions of the coronavirus, TP-Link has maintained the quality of its services. Our European subsidiary and its local partners guaranteed the delivery and deployment, building a solid bridge between users, digital and all other stakeholders with a great sense of responsibility.
