Campus Challenge
Universities often have numerous issues with their equipment and technologies provided by multiple manufacturers, creating a Frankenstein network. Campus wireless networks are frequently down, equipment management is complicated, different systems do not talk to each other and in some places the network does not exist at all. University campuses are often geographically large areas and require wireless networks that are both powerful and reliable.
Using high-quality, low-cost equipment from manufacturers like Ubiquiti and Mikrotik, Inveneo’s comprehensive solution connects your entire campus using one scalable, easily managed network.

Campus WiFi makes Internet access possible for your users.
The Network
Universities typically work with a local implementation partner to align an Internet service provider and a local technology solutions distributor. A spectrum analysis is performed and WiFi access points are installed to cover the campus and its various public areas.
Users can be validated against a database and authenticated by a RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) server. Our networks work 100% transparently with various back-end user access systems and IP technologies. For outdoor wireless coverage, outdoor access points are connected to sector antennas to extend their range.
Deployment is easy and quick. Other vendors require multiple controllers – even up to four – and complicated configuration interfaces. In contrast, our network software manages many devices from a single, user-friendly management interface.
