Tags:
infrastructure management

Overview Known for its rural charm, Crawfordsville, Indiana, enjoys a strong reputation as one of America's best small towns in part by offering its 2,373 students quality access to IT. CSCC provides network-based teaching and testing curricula in district-wide classrooms, furnishing laptop systems to middle and high school students. However, to deliver this connectivity, students had to attach power cords to wall outlets and connect them to two wired switches in each class, creating a tangle of unsightly wires. CCSC sought an affordable, reliable wireless network solution to sustain its commitment to cutting-edge IT in its schools. After examining products from Cisco, Lucent, Intel, Enterasys and 3Com, CCSC chose the following 3Com solution to satisfy its wireless networking needs.
